Installation

First time installing a mod? Check out G3's comprehensive tutorial: A New Player’s Guide to Installing and Playing Mods.

Special Note for Siege of Dragonspear from Steam/GOG
Good Old Games (GOG) and Steam both package the additional content for Siege of Dragonspear in a method that WeiDU, the tool used to install this mod, cannot access. You must run a program called Modmerge on your SoD installation before you can install this or any other WeiDU-based mod.

Enhanced Editions Note
The Enhanced Editions are actively supported games. Please note that every patch update will wipe your current mod setup! If in the middle of a modded game you might want to delay the patch update (if possible) as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. Alternatively, copy the whole game's folder into a new one that can be modded and will stay untouched by game patches. For BG:EE it is important that you install the mod to the language version you are playing the game in. Otherwise, the dialogues of the mod will not show but give error messages.

Windows
RoorenArt's BG2 Portrait Pack for Windows is distributed as a self-extracting archive and includes a WeiDU installer. To install, simply double-click the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

Alternatively, the files can be extracted into your game directory using 7zip or WinRAR. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-roorenart_bg2.exe and the folder roorenart_bg2. To install, double-click setup-roorenart_bg2.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

You can run setup-roorenart_bg2.exe in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

macOS
RoorenArt's BG2 Portrait Pack for macOS is distributed as a compressed tarball and includes a WeiDU installer.

First, extract the files from the tarball into your game directory. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-roorenart_bg2, setup-roorenart_bg2.command, and the folder roorenart_bg2. To install, double-click setup-roorenart_bg2.command and follow the instructions on screen.

You can run setup-roorenart_bg2.command in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

Linux
RoorenArt's BG2 Portrait Pack for Linux is distributed as a compressed tarball and does not include a WeiDU installer Linux users will need to do a one-time install of WeiDU (and a few other adjustments) as described in this great writeup.

To install, run 'weinstall roorenart_bg2 in your game folder.

Note for Complete Uninstallation
In addition to the methods above for removing individual components, you can completely uninstall the mod using setup-roorenart_bg2 --uninstall at the command line to remove all components without wading through prompts.
