    Hey All,
    I'm using the BG: Trilogy with a number of mods installed and I'm having a bit of an issue. I'll get right down to it: I've installed BG: Trilogy using the instruction listed here:

    http://www.gog.com/forum/general/enhance_the_gameplay_in_your_edition_of_baldurs_gate_from_gogcom

    My issue is that my hard drive crapped out about two weeks ago and I have a backup of the folders themselves on an external hard drive but I have no sense of how to go about restoring my installation since I can't remember for the life of me which options I choose when I installed the mods and don't want to have my saves not work and what not. If anyone has any ideas on what I could do here I'd love you forever (I'd really rather not march through the first 20h of gameplay again X_X)

    - Ludovik

    I have not tested this with the trilogy mod, but it SHOULD work. I keep meaning to install Tutu or Trilogy myself.

    Simply install the official game and the patches. Follow the instructions on your link to get Trilogy set up since I don't know what point you can stop at. Don't worry about additional mods.

    Now, simply take your backup with all the mods and copy the contents of that folder into the current game folder (usually C:bad:Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA ) Replace the duplicates.

    You should have all your MODs restored to the time of the backup. Any saved games stored with the backup in the appropriate folders will also be restored (save and mpsave).

    Another solution I found through prowling through forums is to find your weidu.log file in your BG directory. It has a list of all the installed mods listed as:

    With unmodded IE games I used to move them around and just update paths in baldur.ini (and equivalents). I never tried, but it should work with mods as well.
