what is the simplest safest (i.e. a dumb non-programmer like me cant screw things up with it) editing utility for BG2? all i want to do is some cosmetic changes, like make a certain armour look like a leather armour insted of chaimnail...

You can't do the things Mirk wants to do with SK (editing items for example)

IEEP
For changing the appearance of items in the game you'll need something like Infinity Engine Editor Pro (IEEP). Shadowkeeper will let you change the appearance of you avatar but I don't think you can alter the appearance of an item with it. I may be wrong. SK can be very powerful as it has a Creature Editor, Item Editor and Character Editor function and you can do a lot with it. But IEEP is the way to go if you want to mess with game items (though its a bit more complicated). A couple years ago I wanted to make custom items so I downloaded IEEP and the tutorials. Within a couple of hours I had it down pretty good. (Unfortunately I found that customized items spoiled the game for me and I lost interest). SK, on the other hand, is a lot easier to master. You might also want to download Infinity Explorer, BAM Workshop, or even 'winbiff'. All are useful tools.
