Hiya! I did some searching but although there must be threads on this, I may be using the wrong terms to bring it up in the site's search engine. After close to a year, I'm finally getting around to playing BG1:EE and since I played it almost the same throughout my vanilla bg1 life, I wanted to change things around this time with different party combinations including some of the new additions. I found this large portrait pack(but d-loaded it from nexus though this site was also recommended for d-loading) but when I get to the character creation screen, none of the new pics show as options. I'm certain I installed it correctly based on their instructions(I don't know if your version installs differently and maybe that's the issue?) The other problem I thought it might be is that the fellow from nexus(who also made a video but his copy of the game and subsequent walkthrough I couldn't duplicate in order to test the portraits and he doesn't appear to support the product anymore as I've had no reply from him in over a week. Now the thing he mentions is that there is a possibility of issues if other (sql I think he called it) which I assume may be other portrait pack(s) may interfere with it and as you're no doubt aware, team BG did release and add for free a small portrait pack(4males/4females) in that format, so that may be interfering as he said. Is he right or is there a different way to install the pack somehow where the 2 packs don't interfere with each other. As standard practice for me having used so many mods for dragon age, all elder scrolls, fallout etc, I always set up a separate file called portraits as a precaution anytime I deal with new portrait packs, but nothing works.If you can point me to a thread I can read and see if I can glean any new information or method of making this pack work I'd appreciate it. with thanks

Seems like one of the game patch broke the super ultimate portraits pack. And still preferring modded BG I + BG II than the Enhanced Editions, perhaps except that EEs actually work in the multiplayer mode. Baldur's Gate Trilogy mod does all EE can plus it lets you play both BG + BG II almost seamlessly: Moddb.com Edited by: feillyne
