help with installing mods

Post by Andurbal »

Hello people! :)

I decided to play SoA+ToB (my favourite game of all times, along with BG1+ToSC) for a second time, some years after the first one.

The first time I played without any mod or fixpack or whatsoever. So now I want to add some new content to the game. I've downloaded:

- The latest official SoA and ToB patches
- BG2 Fixpack v8
- BG2 Tweaks v7
- Ascension/WeiDU v1.4.23
- BanterPacks v9
- NPC Flirt v102
- Unfinished Business v18

I also tried to find iiItem Mod mentioned by Fable in "Well balanced mods" thread, but I didn't...

What I'm asking for is help with the installation order... Does the below order have any problem? And if yes, which is the correct one?

01.SoA
02.SoA patch
03.ToB
04.ToB patch
05.Fix Pack
06.Unfinished Business mod
07.Banter Pack
08.NPC Flirt Pack
09.Ascension
10.Tweak Pack

Also, I'm not sure about the Tweak Pack... Seems like it contains a lot of drastic and cheesy changes, which I don't like. But I understand I can use only the changes I'm good with.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm thrilled with the idea of playing this wonderful game again :)

You can leave out the SoA patch. If you're installing ToB anyway, that patch is all you need.
The rest looks right I think. Fix pack first and tweak pack last, just as you have it in your list.

Thank you Thrar!

I noticed in Flirt Pack's readme that "There may also be issues with Ascension overriding epilogues introduced in a TOB flirt pack. Therefore, install WeiDU-Ascension BEFORE the TOB flirt pack for your favorite NPC(s)."

I also downloaded Oversight v12, Redemption v1.2 and Quest Pack v2.3

So I'm going for

01. SoA
02. ToB
03. ToB patch
04. Fix Pack
05. Unfinished Business
06. Ascension
07. Redemption
08. Oversight (without the Cleric Kits, because:"The Cleric Kits component will not work with the Multiple Stronghold component of the Ease-of-Use or BG2 Tweak Pack mods. It will, however, work with the NPC Strongholds mod"
09. Banter Pack
10. Flirt Pack
11. Quest Pack
12. Tweak Pack

I hope this will work... I'm not very sure about the Unfinished Business' right order
