Steam Users please note

move your game out of steam, for many reasons, into something like this C:\Games\BGEE2 if you want to play with mods.

some mods will work with steam, but many wouldnt. Or there may be mechanics glitches you may not notice are actually there if you keep it in steam if you decide to keep it in steam because steam likes to "update" stuff.

ive been told to do this by a few helpful individuals and it has resolved all my mod issues
