Well, for starters we need Wisp to release the new Weidu.exe ... but sure there will be a project alike the BiG World one... someday. But this should probably be here as that's where dabus etc hang out.

Or there's actually a good likelyhood of the BG:EE moding will be intergrated to the BWS as it already has the BG1, IwD & IwDII sides on it. But we'll see what happens, as it kinda depends on dabus.

I don't plan to buy the game but it should be possible.

But I got to verify some things I found out.

I can find out where BGEE is installed by going through the registrys uninstall-entries that exits.
When I find one with the DisplayName "Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition", it's a hit.
If Publisher "Beamdog" is set, it's a beamdog-install, otherwise Steam.
Beamdog puts the game underneath Data\0766, Steam does not do that.

If the installation was copied (if that is possible with BGEE), I'd offer selecting the folder and check if baldur.exe and chitin,key is in there and a subfolder lang\de_DE or en_US.
Other installations don't have those folders.

Starting the game, documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition\baldur.ini is created. If there is e.g. a line 'Language', 'Text', 'de_DE', you'd have changed the text from English to German, otherwise not and en_US would be used.

I can extract the mods into the folder where the chitin,key is, create an override-folder and start the mods by using something like the mod Valerie did:

weidu valerie\valerie.tp2 --script-style BG2 --tlkin .\lang\en_US\dialog.tlk --tlkout .\lang\en_US\dialog.tlk --log valerie_bgee.DEBUG

Or I could copy and paste the dialog-files and put them back afterwards. I'd prefer that since I don't want to fiddle with mlink - my OS does not support that and I couldn't test it.

I could blindly throw in the mods from here, use the "common" megamod idea for sorting and that would be it - or better, another guy does that since I was never interested in fiddling with that at all.

Can someone run a fullfleged strategems-install on BG EE? I can only sort out things that are not available by name.
Link should be this one: https://dl.dropbox.c...atagems-v23.exe

I'd also like to know your suggestions for recommended/standard/tactics/expert-install.

Can't you download those mods that are posted at the BGEE-forum? I only get those png-pictures that claim to "link" to downloads.

If you want to try, I've added BGEE to the list of games the BWS can handle: Click.
