sunkefer: I placed it in "gog galaxy / games/ divinity original sin 2/ data/ " where i see all other pak files and it didn't do anything. thanks.
Depends what you placed there, looking at my setup for non definitive edition
I have a folder called Mods created by the modding engine in the game folder
For me that's
D:\Divinity Series\7 Divinity - Original Sin II\Divinity - Original Sin II (GOG)\Data\Mods for you it would be
"gog galaxy / games/ divinity original sin 2/ data/ mods" However as I recall this was where mods are placed when created using the Divinity Engine, and many early mods recommend that folder
I know, at least a few mods were having issues using the game folder,
It was changed to the DOS1(+EE) method of using the user folder, which didn't cause any issues
So it's best to place all mods there, which also helps save space if your PC has multiple users.
Each user on windows can have their own mod setup, settings etc, and use the same game installation.
So all my mods for classic edition are there (Where Player Profiles, and their saves go)..
Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2\Mods Definitive Edition uses a different folder, so for that you'd use
Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\Mods This is also a good thing, as there's no guarantee that the same mods will work in both classic, and definitive.
They may work just fine, but that needs testing mod by mod,
Note my Classic setup is the standalone version, and I've no idea if the Classic game bundled with Definitive edition uses that folder, but I'd not recommend using it anyway.
If you have a stable modded setup in stand alone classic, just keep using that.as a stand alone game.
If you haven 't why would you even play classic in the definitive edition.
It would have been much better to keep classic as a separate game, than needlessly bundle them up.
Thankfully I have my GOG offline installers to keep my Classic where it deserves to be, a game in it's own folder,
{EDIT)
Indeed after a closer look it appears that, this is just the Classikc game data
‥\Divinity - Original Sin II - Definitive Edition (GOG)\Data So mods put there will onl;y work with classic
Definitive Edition has another location
‥\Divinity - Original Sin II - Definitive Edition (GOG)\DefEd\Data Indeed the exe's for directly starting each version are thus
Classic
‥\Divinity - Original Sin II - Definitive Edition (GOG)\Classic\EoCApp.exe Definitive
‥\Divinity - Original Sin II - Definitive Edition (GOG)\DefEd\bin\EoCApp.exe
