So I don't have those files, mind sending them Try this SSL OUT. Run the BiG World Fixpack after unpacking your mods then manually copy these files into /stratagems_external/ workspace/ssl_out. It worked for me. After a few failed install attempts I also made a copy of the 07802 folder before running SCS so I could easily delete if it screwed up and just make a copy of the copy and try again. That sped up the process a bit.

The list for the BGT and EET are two different beasts. And you shouldn't use the BGTs list in the EE games at all. Instead, you should use the noted EET's compatible list as a base. From which the BWS should draw it's iterations. I did follow the EET compatible list. I just used the Big World PDF for installation order since the BWS installer is Windows only.

Can you say that this has a beneficial effect to your EE game(s) ?Cause on PCs, it hasn't been verified, but it hasn't been seen to have an effect either, as the game engine works well either way and even works with .zip(the DLC) files well enough. No I haven't. I just saw it on the Big World list awhile back and have used it the past few installs. I chose the minimal option. Maybe I should leave it off in the future. I haven't noticed a difference either way.

@islandking I installed the most current version of BGEE/SoD and BG2EE. 2.0+. I used subtledoctor's Easy Mac Mod installer to install the various mods including EET. Here is the order I installed the games and mods: When you get a permission denied error with weidu you need to open Terminal and type chmod u+x then drag weidu into terminal and hit return. The easy mod installer will use that version of weidu for all subsequent mods and you shouldn't get a permissions error anymore.

I found a solution. I hate when I search on forums and people say they fixed it, but don't tell you what they did. So, if anybody else has a similar issue to me and google brought you here .... Below is my fix. For some reason SCS files weren't being moved to /stratagems_external/workspace/ssl_out with the Big World Fixpack. Luckily, I had an old BG2 install on an external HDD with the necessary files in /ssl_out. I copied them over manually, reran the SCS installer, and voila .... success. 4 days and many, many, many attempts it was as easy as that. If you don't have those files ask a forum member to zip for you and unzip into the folder. Now off to see if the game will actually play. It did start .... crossing fingers.

K4thos I have been doing more testing. SCS will install on a clean install of BG2EE using the hotfix from subtledoctor: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/732385#Comment_732385. However, as soon as I introduce EET, SCS won't install. However, I can install EET on OSX and it works. I loaded the game and tested it out. After lots of different variations of SCS installs, it seems something must not be patching correctly using the Big World FixPack on OSX. If I install EET, then SCS using the hotfix from subtle doctor it will crash. If I install EET, then SCS using the Big World FixPack it will crash. If I install EET, then SCS using the Big World FixPack followed by manually moving in the hotfix from subtle doctor it will crash. If I install SCS on a clean install of BG2EE without EET and using using the hotfix from subtle doctor it will work. Looks like I'll have to go without EET. I was stoked to try it. Before BGEE I ran BGT or Tutu forever. Both Windows and OSX. Maybe if SCS v31 won't require patching for BGEE and EET to work, Until then, I am out of ideas since I am not a modder and don't know the coding aspect and OSX has limited users/modders.

Thanks subtledoctor, but I have been using the standard installer. Weird thing is that I had a working install of BGEE and BG2EE from about a year ago with SCS, but no EET. It looked like EET was finally stable enough so I deleted my old install (Doh!) and proceeded with an EET install. I guess I can run without SCS, but I haven't done that in a LOOOOONG time. I have the original BG and BG2 with box and discs for both Windows and Mac, the GOG version of both games (was doing BGT with wineskin), and now BGEE and BG2EE. I even Torment from when it originally came out. Been playing off and on for years, but probably a decade since I went without SCS.

Thanks. After hours and hours (4 days) of installing, uninstalling, reinstalling (SCS takes forever) .... it does seem be an SCS issue. I got EET to install on a clean install of BG2EE. I tried SCS with and with out EET, with and with out other mods, with subtledoctor hot fixes, with BWP fixpack ... Long story short. SCS is always the culprit. It keeps happening over and over on Smarter General AI. Seems to be the same issue as this poster: http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=28802. Anybody still maintaining SCS? Have any ideas?

I skipped Ease of Use AI because of the the error, tried to install again and then got an error during Smarter General AI. This has happened three times at this spot now.

Exactly. And two of those are the ones giving me fits.

Anybody have any success using EET with OSX? I have tried 4 times now. I cross posted on the SCS bugs forum, too. Not sure if it is an SCS or EET issue. I have been trying a new install of the BG Series using BGEE, BGEE SoD, BG2EE and EET on OSX. I have installed BGEE and BG2EE, but wanted to do a fresh install with SoD and EET. There are a couple of workarounds to make the various mods work with EET, but I kept getting error with SCS. First time was during the the Smarter General AI component. Then when I tried to install SCS again it would hiccup on the first component. So, I uninstalled all of the games and mods, reinstalled, started the process again got to SCS and it had an error again. So, I uninstalled again .... reinstalled and this time just tried SCS on clean BG2EE. Worked fine using subltedoctor's hot fix and NOT the BiG World Fixpack. So, once again I went through the whole process. This time unpacking SCS after I ran the BiG World Fixpack, included subtle doctor's hotfix and SCS crashed again. This time on the Ease of Use component. Grrrr.

I have tried everything under the sun. I have spent more hours reinstalling BG than it would take to complete the whole saga. I get stubborn. I don't like when something works and I can't figure it out. I have narrowed down a few parameters: It only affects single class rogues. It only affects them after installing SCS. It doesn't matter if Song and Silence or Rogue Rebalancing are installed or not (figured a conflict sine only affecting rogues). I even figured out how to install Windows using boot camp for the time (not easy without an optical drive and extra USB stick). I did manage to get it to work in Windows (using games installed via Wineskin on the Mac and copying over). However, when I copied back to OSX, same error. So, I figured maybe something isn't playing nice with this version of the Wineskin wrapper (though it is the same one I used to get the game working fine in the past). Grrrrr. I even tried the wineskin wrapper from BG:EE figuring their wrapper has to be error free considering they have programmers making the EE versions work perfectly on OSX. Nope. Still crashes after installing SCS and trying to create a single class rogue. Anyhow, I know it is long winded, but I like to share the scenario. I hate when I am doing a Google search to solve a problem and people don't write what they tried or even worse, "I solved it" and don't tell you how. If anybody has any suggestions to try, let me know. For now I'll just have to create rogue characters in a different install and copy over, but that is a clunky workaround.

Try a different kind of character... not the class&kit combo you prefer, but say a base fighter and a mage and a druid of somekind, if it still crashes in each of them, then you might have a problem that should be investigated ... and can be, if you just add the specifics, weidu.log's info, class & kit info etc. Good tip. Seems to be only affecting Bards and Bard Kits. Both male and female. It doesn't seem to affect the other rogue classes. WeiDU.log

Crashing during character creation after installing SCS v30. I have been running GOG Windows versions in a wineskin wrapper. I decided to do a fresh install with updated mods, but this time the game keeps crashing during character creation after SCS. Everything is fine before. Running BGT and other mods, following BWP guide for install order. Game is playable with premise character. When I try to pre-generate a character it is fine until I get to skills. Crashes every time. I have tried reinstalling half a dozen times and as you know that takes HOURS. Any ideas?
