Thanks for the responses! The good news is this has re-ignited my interest in learning how to mod. Maybe I'll actually get somewhere this time!

Quick question as I'm obviously a bit rusty on all this. I have my save games. If I were to reinstall the older version of the game and then re-install the same mods, theoretically I'd be ok to use my save game? Thanks. edit: well, looks like I got lucky, was able to restore the install folder from File History to pre-update. Definitely turning off auto update on GOG Galaxy!

Thanks. I thought I'd turned off the auto-update on GOG, but apparently I had not!

I saw something on one of the Facebook groups saying that the latest update had broken parts of EET. Well I don't know much about that, but I am having a strange problem after the update. I used the Consistent NPC portraits for Minsc and Viconia. I had selected BG portrait for Minsc and SoD for Viconia. Minsc still works fine, but Viconia now just shows the placeholder image. I've tried running the setup again for her and gone through reinstalling it, changing it to just SoA and Uninstalling it. Nothing makes a difference. Since, at least so far, this is the only problem I've seen, I figured I'd just use the override folder and load the portrait, but that doesn't seem to work either. Tried just changing it with EEKeeper to anything else, and still nothing. Any suggestions? I did find one work around. I tried using the override folder and replacing all of Viconia's portraits with the SoD one, that didn't work. So I replaced all the 'No Portrait' ones with hers. It works for the portrait on the right side of the screen, but not for the one on the character sheet, but I can live with that.

Hello everyone, I have a question that's hopefully fairly simple to answer. First off, I've played these the whole series a number of times, but my last full play through was probably 2010 or so, so I'm a bit rusty. I played the old BG Trilogy on at least one of those play throughs. Anyway, so for this play through, I did the EET and loaded up a bunch of mods. I hadn't played SoD yet, so that was completely new, and I just finished it. Well, now I'm onto SoA, but I'm considering re-installing BG2EE and partly starting fresh. My reasons are mainly that I'm a bit worried I nerfed the game some with all the mods I put on (there were some quests I had to fix things in EEKeeper that may have been me screwing up or may have been bugs). For one thing, I've had some issues with the new map. There are times the background is black, which isn't too bad, just annoying, but frankly I had trouble sometimes getting to places in the original campaign as well as NTotSC and to a lesser extent SoD. The locations seemed a bit jumbled so where you might have needed to go to the north exit to open up a new location in the vanilla, the location showed somewhere else on the map and either I had to go from memory or look up online. Again, I may well have screwed something up, not blaming the mod. Soooooooooooo, the question is how much, if any carry over, exists from the game prior to waking up in Irenicus's dungeon to start SoA? It looks like all my equipment is gone, like the vanilla game (EDIT: I see that there is an option in the tweeks to have it show up in the dungeon). What about quests and such? Are there quests that span the two that I'd be losing out on? I'm not above using EEKeeper to make my PC have the same stats as when I finished SoD! Do the joinable NPCs retain stats from the earlier campaigns? (I didn't have any that show up in the dungeon, so I can't easily check). Appreciate any guidance! And this is not meant in anyway to demean the work that went into building EET. It's awesome. Here are the mods I have installed per my WEIDU log: NTOTSC Shadows of Soubar Ascension Tower of Deception Assassinations Seatower Cowled Menace Banter Pack Unfinished Business Crossmod Banter Pack (SoA and ToB) Deep Gnomes ATWEAKS EET_TWEAKS SoD Banter Restoration BGT-Worldmap EET_END Thanks again!
