Before I bought a Wii, I was pretty big on Baldur's Gate 2, one of the reasons is that I found out there were numerous modding communities through which extra fanmade content could be added to the game. I've even done a little modding myself(Beastmaster and Wizard Slayer kit improvement and mime Kit addition) and was wondering if anyone else has played Baldur's Gate 2 recently?

Also wondering, for those of you that do own the game, did you ever use any of the weidu based fan content, and if so, which pieces were your favorites to use?

My personal favorite of course is BG1tutu, which allows you to play the original Baldur's Gate game on the Baldur's Gate 2 engine, as well as the other fan mods that tweak the gameplay in order to support the new game rules.

EDIT: Since so far, it seems that many people didn't realize that there were mods for Baldur's Gate 2, I'm going to add this link, which has a comprehensive list of nearly every major mod for the game.

Basically, in order to instal any Weidu based mod for BG2, you will need to extract all the files that are part of the mod download(usually this will consist of a folder, a .tp2 file and a .exe file), then place those in the override folder of your BG2 - SoA folder.

After you put all the files there, you need to click on and run the .exe file. This will open up a dos window and will ask you which components of the mod to install. Many mods allow you to choose individual components to instal. If you aren't certain what each component does, you can usually find a readme folder that will give a more detailed description of what each mod changes in the game.

And since I'm the OP of this topic, I guess i can take a moment to shamefully plug what work I have done for the modding community. It's been well over a year since I've done anything for it though:
