If you mean, will you need to restart the game for a mod to take effect, check the documentation with the individual mod.
#2does modding the game replace some or all of the content of the original game?#3excluding any romance or npc mods(for now)hows about some recomendations?
Why not check the sticky threads at the top of the page, labeled "BG reference crossroads" and "Well-balanced mods"?

To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
First welcome to the forum demoncavalier. Now to answer your questions.
#1 No you don't need to finish a game to install a mod, however it is recommended that you restart since you may have past much of the mods content.
#2 Yes mods often replace some of the original content, however most mods are easy enough to uninstall. You could also make backups of your original files override, dialog.tlk, and chitin.key files and restore them later if you don't like a particular mod.
#3 Well this depends on what type of game you would like. If you want a greater challenge the Tactics, Spell 50, or Ascension would certainly offer a challenge. There are also mods that add tweeks to the game like Rogue Rebalancing, and Oversights. While others like Banter and Flirt Packs have additional dialog options. This is just a brief list, again it all depends on what kind of game you would like. Check the reference crossroads for a full list of mods. Most mods have their own forums check them out if you want more info or have compatibility concerns. I currently have about a dozen mods installed, and have had very few bugs.
