Baldur's Gate Trilogy
It's a mod that brings the
BG1+BGTotSC to the
BG2 engine and let's you to play them from the start of
BG1 to the end of
BG2:
ToB as new game, or you can start to play the
BG2, if you wish. While with Tutu, you can't actually play the
BG2 at all.
Big Picture
Was a combination of few of the big mods, but now-a-days it's an AI enchanting mod.
Big World (Project)
Is a project that tries to combines the 200+ mods to one playable game.
If I understand correctly, BGT is basically an alternate version of Tutu, and can be installed as the base for either Big Picture or Big World, and BP and BW are just two different ways of doing the same thing (install as many compatible mods as possible), ala Easytutu and BGT. Good so far?
Well, with the above note included, yes.
I've read the adobe manual for BW(P), but English is not the author's first language. That's not to say anything derogatory, it's just that as a student of (other) foreign languages, I know that it's often the little words that matter the most -- amd they're often the most mistranslated and/or misunderstood. I'm not sure, but I think he's trying to tell me that if I use one of the three recommended auto-install versions, his program will do all of the work for me, and I don't even have to read the rest of his manual, but if I want to make different choices about which mods to use or which components to install, then I have to follow the manual instructions that comprise the bulk of the manual. Also true? (I can't seem to find something similar as a readme for BP.)
Well, all, well most of the documentation is in
this and
that document, and you can read them... and it's best that you do read them.
Thoroughly, so you know what you are getting, and know what to do when and if you do not wish certain mods or their components to be (auto)installed. But you will be using the auto-install anyway, cause that is the easiest way to make all the mods work together, without bugs. Now, the documentation
was an instruction for the manual installation, but it was automated later, so you get the sence from the wording that you have to do everything by hand, when in reality the "BiG World Install.bat"(auto installer) does all the work for you, and you don't need to do a thing but wait for hours.
And in addition to this, there is also the BWS, a program that also downloads the latest versions of all of the mods, and unpacks and puts everything into the
BG2 folder and starts the "BiG World Install.bat"... that auto installs everything.
I'd like to try a lot of these mods, but some more than others, and one of these megamod installs sounds like it might be an easy way to try a a lot of them at once, but I just need to clear up a couple of these questions first before I attempt to proceed. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Welcome, you are.

That includes you flinx, and why the second answer takes more than a forum page on the FAQs for the Megamods.
