Item_Upgrade VS SoD-to-BG2EE-Item-Upgrade

Compare Item_Upgrade vs SoD-to-BG2EE-Item-Upgrade and see what are their differences.

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). (by Pocket-Plane-Group)

SoD-to-BG2EE-Item-Upgrade

Imports more Siege of Dragonspear items into logical (to me at least) locations in BG2:EE during the Shadows of Amn campaign. They are attainable in a variety of ways – quest rewards, drops from enemies killed, shops, and containers. (by Gibberlings3)

  • I'm curious, what did I do wrong? Why was my post removed?
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 9 Dec 2023
    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).
  • Finished SoD, my items didn't export to SoA. Anyway - on my way to do quests outside of Athkatla.

    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.

  • M(2)-> Fighter SCS BG2?
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 3 Apr 2023
    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.
  • Why aren't there good longbows in BG2?
    2 projects | /r/baldursgate | 24 Feb 2023
    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 best magical item in the game.
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 4 Feb 2023
    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.
  • Belt for a guy who has everything?
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 3 Feb 2023
    Use SoD2BG2, which also brings IWD items into BG2, and get the belt of luck, or blur.
  • Which item pack/store mods are not stupid, borderline cheating, or sloppily implemented?
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 8 Dec 2022
    SoD to Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition Item Upgrade seems pretty reasonable, overall.
  • Cromwell with Watcher's keep items?
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 1 Oct 2022
    Do you know if that mod is compatible with the SoD to Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition Item Upgrade?

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Item_Upgrade and SoD-to-BG2EE-Item-Upgrade you can also consider the following projects:

Solaufein - Weimer's classic mod changes Solaufein into a joinable NPC for BG2EE and ToB. Revised EE version.

EET - Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Trilogy (EET) is a modification for Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition that merges whole saga into one game and provides continuity between the events of Baldur's Gate, Tales of the Sword Coast, Shadows of Amn, Throne of Bhaal and Siege of Dragonspear expansion (also for both Black Pits adventures). The name of this this modification probably rings a bell to those who have been following IE modding scene, thanks to the classic mod that inspired this project, called Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT), developed by Bardez and Ascension64. While EET remains mostly faithful to the premise of the BGT, it shouldn't be considered a direct continuation of that project. In fact both mods share little to no common code and took different design decisions in many aspects.

Under-Respresented_Items - This mod adds items to Baldur's Gate 2. The items come from Icewind Dale 2. Only certain kinds of items were chosen. Items were selected to flesh out smaller weapon families.

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.

Forgotten-Armament - Add new items into BGEE, BG2EE, and EET

AzengaardEE - A time traveller takes the party back to an epic battle and foreshadows a coming one

bg2-wildmage - Wild Mage additions mod for Baldur's Gate 2

BG1NPC - The BG1 NPC Project adds a great deal of content by expanding the depth of character and levels of interaction with the NPCs from the Baldur's Gate game. Requires Tutu, BGT, or BGEE.

msfm - More Style for Mages - A mod for BG:EE, BG2:EE and IWD:EE
