Are there any weapon expansion mods
Forgotten Armament and Underrepresented Items are both great mods. They do a lot to make different weapon groups more viable, so taking halberd or bastard sword proficiency feels like a better option.

Mod Item Analysis: Ruad Rofessa's Smithy of Colors: Weapons Part 5 (Final)
There's also Forgotten Armament as a proper alternative. It does similar things like changing items that set a stat to +2 instead of a fixed 18, but the most interesting component is the one that changes all weapons to use the 3.5e rules (I think IR only does it for the scimitar). It doesn't change all the same weapons IR does (yet), and in fact changes some that IR doesn't. The ones both change, FA seems to move away from the funny and/or experimental mechanic design of IR, but if you don't mind spending some time tweaking things, you could mix both to your liking.
- any good spear mods? BG1 or 2

BGII EE essential mods
For item mods, I like Forgotten Armament and Underrepresented Items, which port items from NWN2 and Icewind Dale, respectively. Good for fleshing out certain weapon categories that are otherwise a little sparse (clubs, bastard swords, etc).
What are some alternatives?
Item_Upgrade - The Item Upgrade Mod Pack allows Cromwell and Cespenar to upgrade more items for you. Half of them are conveniences, the other half try to prop up weapon categories that are "weak" by comparison (e.g., maces and clubs).
Black-Hearts-EET
The_Boareskyr_Bridge_Scene - A mod for Siege of Dragonspear that gives more impact to the important scene at Boareskyr Bridge.
Almaterias_Restoration_Project - The younger, brasher sidekick of Unfinished Business for Baldur's Gate II.
Black-Hearts-BG2 - Black Hearts for BG2 (separate install)
TowerOfDeception - Tower of Deception for BG2:ToB, BG2:EE and EET
Back_to_Brynnlaw - A Questmod for Baldur's Gate II (BGII, BGT, BGII:EE, EET)
Alternatives - Alternatives offers two new possibilities to consider when making the decision about whether to side with the Shadow Thieves or with Valen's Mistress. In addition to the traditional two, the player may now opt to side with a group even the paladins in the party could have no objection to... or he may opt to skip the whole decision entirely and set sail for Maztica. Alternatives also offers a different way to satisfy Mae Var's demand that the protagonist steal an artifact from a temple and an alternate way to complete the Riddle of the Sewers. https://www.gibberlings3.net/mods/quests/alternatives/
CowledMenace - Unravel the mysteries of the Twisted Rune and investigate the Cowled Wizards in this Enhanced Edition Trilogy mod!
Jasteys_SoD_Tweakpack - Jastey's SoD related tweaks, for SoD, EET, or even BGT.
Tweaks-Anthology - The Tweaks Anthology is a WeiDU compilation of nearly 200 components of cosmetic changes, house rules, and other tweaks. Some of these were fan requests, others are needed changes, and others simply make dealing with the more irritating aspects of the game engine easier. Each component can be installed separately so the player can pick and choose only which ones they wish to install.
