Hi, I'm trying to use "This Big World" with Baldur's Gate and I am having trouble getting it to take.
It doesn't seem to have any trouble with BG2 but with the first game I get the error:
The "Baldur's Gate" folder you entered does not contain a full install. The following files are missing:
data\Area0008.bif
data\Area000C.bif
data\Area000D.bif
data\Area000E.bif
data\Area000F.bif

Now I have tried reinstaling the game, but it doesn't ask me if I want to do a full install. I simply asks for that directory to install the game into, and then off it goes.

You have to choose "Custom" and then "Full" when installing BG1 original saga.

The problem is that I never get that option. Like I said it asks me what directory to install the game to, and then it installs the game. No option for anything like minimum or recommended or custom install.

It's there, it's just not as obvious as in BG2. Unless you have some odd copy of BG1 Original Saga, but I've installed it like a hundred times and have always used that option.
