Thanks for the clarification, Dabus. I did see mentions that it was not supported, but I was confused because the button is in the installer, and the GUI is all built. I thought maybe "not supported" meant that the component list was not auto-populated, but that if components were manually added by the user, that they might be integrated into the bat.As said in the current overview and some other topics here, the BWS does not support a component selection. Even if you add them, only the BWS would recognize them as selected but it would not edit the BiG World Install.bat, which will do the installation later and which is the file that you will have to edit.

At the start of the install.bat, you get to choose whether ya wanna install fun mods and unsuitable mods 
Well, if anyone's wondering exactly which mods are fun/unsuitable ...
Might I suggest adding Adventures in Papperland, Mordan's Christmas Minimod and The Holy Hand Grenade to the fun mods??
Tales of Anegh, LavaIt! and Mawgul NPC are still marked as "not in English"

Also, I'd call the "fun" category "out-of-character". Otherwise it kinda implies other in-character mods aren't funMay I suggest that instead of "unsuitable", you call them "unbalancing"?

Thanks Dabus, that was perfect. I'm glad I didn't need to go through the Setup process all over again!@Uaine:
You don't have to do that. The fixpack wants to patch some zeroed offsets and it fails since your Weidu is an old one. You have to replace the weidu.exe with the one from the weidu-direcory. Then start the BiG World Install.bat again. You will encounter some hunk-messages but don't bother because the files that should be patched are already patched since from the first run.
Can you tell me what's the last entry from the BiG World Setup\Changelog.txt?
This error should have been fixed since v8.3.0.

Would that manually added mod be, by any chance, BDashv1.6.8??What I think happened is that after I ran setup, I manually added a mod that I had left out in BiG World Setup. When I extracted it, the older version of WeiDU must have overwritten the newer one. Everything is working fine now.
... cause the .tp2 got renamed too so the BWP won't install it in the first place!

If it is indeed an old one (beneath 8.3.1), exit the install and start again.
8.2.0 (Installation Package) - 12.11.2009 Updated: Mods, links and descriptions for the BWP v8.2 (Chapter.ini, Mod.ini, Setup.ini)

All right I changed this a little bit in the first post:(I admit I lolled3) The last stage of the instructions "Begin the installation" could be a little more thorough. I hit a couple snags and had to restart the vb5 script a few times and noticed the .bat could be restarted if you made a wrong choice. Also, it wasn't clear that "start your megamod" meant I should start the game normally; I spent some time looking around for a special megamod exe.
Each mod-entry in the BWS has a button on the left side of its description and if you press it, you get to the mods main-homepage. There you can gather all the informations you need.5) The linklist and installer only give a short description of each of the mods. It's pretty daunting trying to figure out which ones you want to use with so little information. I'm not complaining, as having any information at all on so many mods in multiple languages is a feat beyond my contemplation. I'm just saying--if it's possible--more would be better.

Everyone can tell from the total # of pages in the installation instruction that how much hard work has been put into the project. I will definitely call it the bible of BG mega mods! However, due to the limitation of static pdf document and the nature of BWP being ever evolving, the form of pdf document is at huge disadvantage, not being able to reflect the latest changes dynamically, such as the newest version of mods, newly added or deleted mods, or some newly discovered bugs/solutions, etc.
My suggestion is to switch from pdf document to wikipedia. Even with my experience of wikipedia mostly as an end-user rather than a contributor, I believe most of the problem mentioned can be solved easily. Most importantly, wiki form allows Leonardo and other masterminds behind the project to outsource to the mass the busy work, such as updating the latest version # of the mods, proofreading translation, etc., that requires little technical knowledge. Meanwhile, they can focus on their energy on the technical level.
Of course, there are certain aspects that Leonardo and others should have absolute editorial control and should not be altered by anyone else, such as which mods should be categorized into the reccomended installation, etc.
Finally, thank you all very much. Your great work is sincerely apparected.
