While the database of mods and install orders still gets sporadic updates, the tool itself has not been meaningfully updated in years.
Unfortunately, the sheer magnitude of the project-namely trying to keep track of the optimal order of hundreds of mods as well as their conflicts-was simply unmanageable. The Big World Project/Big World Setup (BWP/BWS): This was a combination of an install tool and database of installation order information for the original games. There are four of note, and all but one are for Windows:

While there is a proliferation of mods, there have been few notable attempts at a mod manager. On Windows, make your copy outside of the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)", as Windows can sometimes interfere with the installers trying to make changes inside these folders. The downside of playing off a copy of your game is that your Steam/GOG Galaxy launcher will try to launch the original unmodded game and that you may not get achievements.įor the EEs, making a new game install is easy: just copy the game folder and mod the copy. The takeaway is that you're better served making a copy of your game to use with mods, and that you should not change your mods in the middle of a playthrough (or, alternatively, abandon any existing saved games if you do). The host and clients in a multiplayer games must have matching resources, otherwise the game may be unstable (if it allows you to connect at all). Multiplayer games must all use the same mods in the same order. Coupled with the above point, it may mean you cannot use your old saves from modded games.

When a new official patch is released, the update process removes any outside files, with the effective result being that your mods get wiped out by a new patch. The Enhanced Editions are still being actively developed by Beamdog. The practical upshot of this is that a save from a modded game will only reliably work with the particular modded game that it's from-changing or uninstalling mods mid-game may cause your save to not work. Modding a mobile or console version of IE games requires more hoops to jump through, and will not be covered here.Ĭhanges from mods will end up in your save games. WeiDU can uninstall or reinstall parts of mods WeiDU allows mods to be broken down into individual components so that players can pick and choose what they want from a particular mod WeiDU also has built-in mechanisms to preserve the order you select. WeiDU allows mods to affect previously installed mods, making install order important, as we’ll discuss in a later section. on Windows it does everything through the Command Prompt, a DOS-like interface WeiDU installs mods through a command-line interface, e.g. Linux users will need to do a one-time install of WeiDU (and a few other adjustments): suy has a great writeup here.

It’s not something you need to download yourself. For players, the important things to know about WeiDU are:įor Windows and macOS players, WeiDU is included with mods. It's a very powerful tool for modders and allows for a high level of interoperability between mods. Modding games using the Infinity Engine-the engine that runs the original and Enhanced Editions (EEs) of the Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, and Icewind Dale games-revolves around a tool named WeiDU (the Weimer Dialogue Utility).
