EET VS SoD-to-BG2EE-Item-Upgrade

Download all the mods you want (in this case, the DLC Merger, EET, BG1 Unfinished Business, BG2 Unfinished Business, the Tweaks Anthology). I've provided links for each of them. 1. If there are multiple files, pick the .zip that matches your computer OS (most likely win64-bit). Extract any downloaded zip files.

You can indeed play BGT on the EEs. Note that it requires Siege of Dragonspear (though with the excellent EndlessBG1 you can skip it, if you choose).

Enhanced Edition Trilogy: lets you play through all the campaigns (BG1, Dragonspear, BG2, and Throne of Bhaal...yeah, it got named before Dragonspear came out) as a continuous game.

EET https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EET/releases The install process can be complicated, but this fundamentally changes the game; transforms BG1+SOD+BG2 into one gigantic epic experience where all of your equipment carries over and you can revisit locations. Highly recommended. This explains how to install it. https://rawgit.com/K4thos/EET/master/EET/readme-EET.html If you decide to try EET, you will need the DLC Merger mod, mentioned and linked in that EET readme. If so, DLC Merger must be installed as your first mod.

There is no problem with the true EET mod. https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EET

Big World equivalent is Enhanced Edition Trilogy, which is here : https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EET

The mod you want is the SoD to BG2EE Item Upgrade. The mod imports SoD items to BG2EE as well as many new arcane and divine spells (like Darkness 15' Radius, Trollkiller's Fireball, and Crushing Earth).

This mod has a component that forces all SoD items to be available in BG2 as though you'd imported them. Haven't tried the other components, but it's handy if you don't want to replay.

this mod has a component that forces all importable SoD items to be available in BG2. I only use that component, so I can't speak to how the other stuff in the mod works.

If you were super keen on Varscona then you might want to look at the SOD2BG2 mod, which allows Cromwell/Cespenar to upgrade Varscona through +5 and gives it some interesting new abilities. Be careful with that mod though, the sum of what it adds is incredibly OP. In particular do not touch the new mage spells from it if you want any challenge. SCS is balanced with IWD spells in mind, so I'd include those. I wouldn't go for Spell Revisions or Rogue Rebalancing, those are major overhauls that need a lot more thought before you pull the trigger on them.

There already are plenty of mods for this. SoD2BG2 does a bit, bringing IWD longbows like Sseth into BG2 (basically a longbow Tuigan), and an upgrade to the SoD Bow of the Banshee (+4, 20% chance of 4d4 damage party-safe banshee wail on hit). The Item Upgrade Mod has Teleomortis, a +4 infinite ammo bow (it also has throwing spears, which are cool). It also lets you upgrade the ToB infinite quivers to +3, which helps slings/xbows/shortbows as well, but is still useful to longbows.

The SoD to BG2:EE Item Upgrade Mod imports Kontik's Ring (double 1st and 2nd level spells) from IWD and places it in the same location as Evermemory. You have a 50/50 chance of getting either with each new game. It may seem OP, but it helps tremendously when playing SCS on insane.

Use SoD2BG2, which also brings IWD items into BG2, and get the belt of luck, or blur.

SoD to Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition Item Upgrade seems pretty reasonable, overall.

Do you know if that mod is compatible with the SoD to Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition Item Upgrade?
