BGII mod question---graphic mods?

is there any mods for BGII that upgrade the graphics/icons/interface stuff?

All the mods I've seen work off the same graphics engine that was used throughout the series. So no real changes, there.

There are a few mods available that change the icons used for items. There is another mod that changes the spell animations to be more like Icewind Dale.

there is a Goth mod that I installed - makes the portaits more 'gothic'.

you could say the change was merely Visigothic.

Where did you find that mod? I haven't heard of that one before.

I think Baldur's Goth is the mod being referred to. To quote the notes:

Baldur's Goth II is a mod which enhances the graphical side of Baldur's Gate, in an attempt to make the game more 'Gothy'. The first version features edited portraits and paperdolls of all NPC's, as well as a new startup screen for both SoA and ToB. Baldur's Goth II has support for Throne of Bhaal, but the expansion is not required.

Spellhold Studios - 1pp

Changes the inventory models back to the BG1 look - which, strangely enough, is a helluva lot better.
