hi all...

where I have my lunch they place classical music and one of the common cuts is a piece that reminds of the
gamemusic of the A D D series of games, especially bg2!

here i hd it sitting on my hard drive with the 161 version of the big picture, unplyed, must be for years
now. Ah yes, time goes by and low and behold the mods are all updated!

so here now, all because of this cafe music, I am getting it togther. so far i have, i think, all of the mods, NOW comes the difficult mission of Installing them!! oh they are easy enough thanks to weidu
but which ones?! conflict conflict.....

Ugh, a small sour note: the install guides for the big picture, the ones on the net, are often the OLDER ones, for version 161, for instance. the readme for 177 more or less says to install any and all of the weidu
mods.

too too bad someone could not make a 'bp-defender" program, a small weidu that install last, a mod that will protect any or all of the bp, or even the tdd...sot...etc..etc...install files to be overwritten by another weidu
"innocent-looking" mod!

so which bp install guide should i use, i plan to install the
bp...sos..tdd. ctb...tos...and lots of compatible weuidu mods.

by the way, i am 65 years old and live in a senio home. never to otoo old for games, why some old 84 year old grandmother, in my building, plays rpg on her SNES!

so I will try this here game.

i do not have to hd space for the whole big bg1.g2 install.....does anyone here know off of the top of their hats how big the bg1 = expansion pack is in terms of hd space?!

thanks...freestone

Check the BP+Baldur's Gate Trilogy forum. It has a sticky on the installation order.

And check here for the most recent updates of all the mods.
