Hi, I'm a gamer looking for assistance with mod installation order.

I have the 6-disc BG+ToTSC and the 5-disc BGII+ToB, if it matters.

In addition, I would like:
*A Mega Mod (have used BiG World but I have had a very minor bug with it {the checkboxes on the mod selection screen are unclickable under any circumstances})
*Imoen Romance Mod (v1.202)
*Solaufein (v103)
*Ease of Use (v33)
*Item Upgrade (v38)
*Assassinations
*NPC Flirt Packs
*BG2 Refinements
*The Bigg House
*Baldurdash BGII Bugfixes
*Improved Bhaalspawn Abilities
*Ease-of-Use


Some lower priority mods that I would like include:
*de'Arnise Romance
*Expanded Theif Stronghold
*BG Unfinished Business
*BGII Unfinished Business
*Chloe
*Beyond the Law
*Edwin Romance
*Spell-50
*Underrepresented Items
*Yikari
*BG2 Tweak Pack
*Revised Hell Trials

Any help on mod installation order or advice about what to drop to make this work would be greatly appreciated.
I have a clean backup made as part of the BiG World install that I'd like to revert to if possible.
Thanks.

So you have the problem indicated here, and the solution is to uninstall the Widescreen mod, then install the GUI mod you did that cheesed the game, and then reinstall the Widescreen mod, last.

No, I don't.
My current setup (totally clean, using the Minimal settings) for BiG World works perfectly.
**Edit: I am aware that my current build works perfectly from some extensive testing (playing through the entire thing several times).**

The issue was during installation. During the "further customization" screen, when all BiG World supported mods were listed, the individual checkboxes to have a mod installed as part of BiG World installation were unclickable. This does not affect my experience at all and seemed incidental at best. My real question was what order to install mods in to avoid borking my install.

stuff.....

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Edit: One more quick bit. These mods are installed in the indicated order; is this done before or after the BiG World is installed and run?
Edit.2: Where would Tashia go?

Final Edit: I RTFM'd and understand. The mods are downloaded and pulled a part of BiG World Setup. Now I understand why this application is SUPERINCREDIBLY valuable rather than pretty valuable.
