  1. Portraits-Portraits-Everywhere

    Portraits Portraits Everywhere (PPE)

    Portraits portraits everwhere. Note that it uses portraits from other games (including POE) which may be slightly jarring at times. Overall I like it a lot though.

  3. A7-HiddenGameplayOptions

    A mod that makes a number of useful options directly accessible within Enhanced Edition games.

    Hidden Gameplay Tweaks. Then enable it through the in-game menu.

  4. EEUITweaks

    Distribution point for EEUITweaks

    I use EEUITweaks for this, specifically the "lefreut journal fixes [collapsed]" component. There are other UI mods that do similar things but this is the one I've used and liked.

  5. 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.

    If you're expecting the kind of party banter and interjections you got from your listed games, I will suggest the BG1 NPC Project. https://www.gibberlings3.net/mods/npcs/bg1npc/ Otherwise a lot of party members will join and then pretty much never speak up again.

  6. JaheiraRecast

    Discontinued This mod reconnects Jaheira's SoD voiceover files to the dialog lines and gives Jaheira's soundset an SoD update like the other returning NPCs.
