just a quick question. Does the scs II mod works with unfinished buissness mod?
I know it works fine with ascension, but i want to try it with the other mod. I also use a few features from the ease-of-use mod atm, mainly arrow stacking and unlimited bag of holding. Does that cause any problems with the scs II mod? Thanks in advance

It works fine afaik.

However make sure to install things such as G3 Tweaks and / or ease-of-use as -last-, so they affect content added by other mods as well.

hmm i thought i should install scs II last, afaik you should always install bugfixes first. Or am i completely wrong here?

G3 tweaks and ease-of-use are rule changes.

The order is

1. Official patches
2. Unofficial patch (g3 fixpack or baldurdash, the first one is better)
3. Everything that is not covered in 4 and 5. This would be Unfinished Business in your case.
4. SCSII.
5. Rule changing mods (g3 tweaks and ease-of-use)

Thanks for the answer, i will try that, i guess ascension should go under 3 as well

Yes.

There are some exceptions in the 5 point process, so keep an eye out for readme files.

Ascension goes after the official patch and before the fixpack otherwise it can cause problems ( overwrites files instead of patching them thus crapping over things installed prior to it ).

Is that so? I never had any problems with such installing order.
What kind of problems are we talking about here?

Fixpack only "fixes" vanilla game afaik.

Installing Ascension after fixpack will, at the very least, wipe out a big bunch of bugfixes to ( mostly ) protective spells. Ascension before fixpack also causes some problems ( some ascension stuff not working, nothing major though ). Basically it's up to you to decide what the lesser evil is.

It will only wipe out bug fixes to protection spells that affect innate abilities in Ascension fights, and even then, only for ascension fights.

With this being said i haven't noticed a single one of the above. Aside from that, SCSII sneak re-installs these fixes, so there is no loss here. (SCSII adds / alters many innate abilities, thus re-installing fixes to spells was a good move)

Installing Ascension before Fixpack may result in a certain .tlk file messing up.
Truth be told, installing anything before fixpack may lead to serious string issues.

Well it was discussed a lot through the years and the general consensus is that Ascension goes as early as possible, preferably before the Fixpack.
