Is there any mod/add-on which add more races into BG2?
Like in IWD2 I can select for example a drow, then the character looks like drow etc.
Or can this be added into BG2?? Thanks.

It is hard coded in the game where new races cannot be added to the game.
What can be done are subraces though dialogue once you start a new game.
There are two versions of mods like this, one by Welverin, and the other by FinnJO.
You can download both here.

I would recommend the one by FinnJO. It is really quite nice.
The only thing I would stress is that if you decide to install the "subraces for BioWare NPCs" component, you install the mod early, *very early* in the installation, even before you apply the BG2 Fixpack.
You see, FinnJO's mod overwrites the CREs for the BioWare NPCs. Yes, I know that isn't such a great idea, but that's how it was done back in the old days. I've got it ahead of the BG2 Fixpack in my game, and apart from not particularly liking Keldorn's new portrait or his coloring, everything is working just fine.

Heh, despite my disastrous experience with the other Subrace mod, I'm tempted to try this one. Might as well, since my testing is pretty much at a standstill, what with not knowing the safest order in which to install the rest of the mods I want to add (Import Items, Refinements, tbtweaks, BG2 Tweaks, Crossmod, and virtue). Add to this the problem that Crossmod Banter Pack v.7 will not install to my system, but the mod is a MUST HAVE for me. What to do? *Sigh*
