Hello all, I am trying, or I should say that I would like to install the mod Enhanced Edition Trilogy. I installed it no long ago, a month or so. However, my PC died on me and I had to reinstall everything and now I would like to get the EET game going once more.
I went to the Beamdog forums where I thought I had DL'ed the EET previously and I got it downloaded and extracted to a folder.
I installed the two games BG: EE (Seige of Dragonspear) and BG2 EE. I created a saved game in each game. When I run the EET update.bat, the Enhanced Edition Trilogy main screen loads up.
I select BG 2 Enhanced Edition/EET from the drop-down window on the bottom right.
I then click continue and put into the two folder destinations for both games. I don't touch the DL folder. The language of English is already selected, so I leave that be as well.
I then can pick which mods I would like to install. When I click on the drop-down arrow I only have one option to go to the next page and select, individually, each of the mods I would install.
When I installed the EET last month, it gave me some general options. Like Minimal, Recommended, and a few other options past Recommended, all of which were very buggy and a pain to install. However, the drop-down list is not there, I have no options to chose from.
On an off chance, I DL'ed the Big World Setup and set it up the same way and when I get to the option of choosing what mods I would like, it *DID* give me the options of installing the Recommended set of mods. I did this and the first time it hung up on Stratagem Guide or something like that for a day. So I uninstalled both games, cleared My Documents of the BG folders and started over. This time on the BWS, I chose the options to automatically get rid of mods that were trouble or could not DL. and the third option below that, I chose to continue the install no matter what. No error reporting.
Well after about 2 hours, the install was down.
Well when I started the game, the BWS version was different than the EET. There were several interactions and things, in Candlekeep and right outside, after Gorion died, that I could do in EET that wasn't there in the BWS install. Especially two people, besides Imoen, joined the group, right after Gorion died. Well, one was a wolf, the other was a female Cleric/paladin. When I made it to the Friendly Arm Inn, there were a ton of other merchants and the avatar of Mystra, masquerading as a merchant in the temple.
This is the modded version of the combined game I am looking for. I know it was the EET version that did that, when I installed it last month, but when I try to install the EET version now from K4thos, I get no option choices to install and I am not comfortable at all at picking willy-nilly all of the mods that I would like to install for the combined games of BG 1 & 2. I would like to install the EET recommended set of mods for the game. It was extremely refreshing to start the game and have so much new stuff all over the place.
Can someone please give me a tick by tick setup or point me to someone place other than here or Beamdog forums as I have tried those and they are not working for me. I know it is something super simple I am missing.
Thank you for your time and luck and loot to you all.
