    It's a WeiDU mod; just extract everything into the "Baldur's Gate" folder, then run the EXE file. You should be able to take it from there. :)

    No, I mean the root "Baldur's Gate" folder, and what do you mean 'save'? :confused: Okay, let's start from the top instead:
    </font>
    1. Download the ZIP file from SP (done, I assume)
    2. Open the file with WinZip or WinRAR
    3. Select everything inside (Shift+click or Ctrl+click) and hit the 'extract' button
    4. Extract the files into "C:bad:Program Files\Black Isle\Baldur's Gate"
    5. Use Windows Explorer (or whatever) to open up the folder and run the new "Setup-BG1-ease-v2.1.exe" file
    The instructions in the program should guide you from there. If that's what you tried to do and it didn't work, could you tell me which step you had trouble with?

    Do you have to do step #5? I didn't yet.

    Yeah, that's how WeiDU mods work. They don't make any changes except by the accompanying EXE file. That's what actually puts new files where they need to be and appends those that need it. I actually didn't either because I didn't trust it back when I first downloaded it and I knew EXACTLY what I was doing, but I've installed a few WeiDU mods since, and the process is smooth as butter (very user-friendly).
