i know that this question has probably been asked a bunch of times before but could someone tell me the order in which i need to install stuff to play BG II and TOB with any mods i want? also could someone point me in the direction of website with custom classes and i was also wondering if anyone had access to any saved games i kinda like to see how other people equip their charaters and what type of parties they use
thanks

Well some mods actually are not compatible. So its probably ultimately impossible to play with any mods you want. However, there is a post at Pocket Plane Planet that does a pretty good job of going over the correct installation order for mods, you might want to check out:

Blinky, if you can list the mods you're intending to play with, I suspect we can help out. We can't tell you in advance, because there are quite a few mods out there.

The mods you mention shouldn't have any real compatibility issues with one another. I'd make sure to downoad the WeiDu versions of Ascension, just for safety. The basic rule of thumb about installing is to install non-weidu format mods prior to installing WeiDu format mods. However, all the mods you mention are available in the WeiDu format. In general, I've found that most of the good mods you download from places like
Pocket Plane Planet and [url=http://www,weidu.org]weidu.org[/url] are in that format. Another great advantage of this, is that WeiDu mods are fairly easy to uninstall if you end up having any major problems. However, all the mods you've mentioned are fairly widely used in conjunction with one another. As such, I don't forsee any major problems.

And remember, always install the official game fixes first, then any unofficial (usually Balderdash) game fixes you want to use, then mods.
