Hi!!

I was playing with the idea to do another BGT run, though I wanted to add smaller quest packs and tactical tweaks as I have played the game fully about 9 or 10 times =)

My plan is to add quite a few tweaks and 'smaller' quest addons that I feel or belive won't interfere with the main story part at a great extent.

This is my list so far :

I will use BiG World Installpack 10.0.4 to install everything, if needed, with some manual configuration of his install file.
Unpack mods in BG2 directory, double click the install file, easy as pie =)

I will use the BiG World v10 english.pdf for directions when manually installing, or to see how the installpack handles the mods :

To my question, as I would like to install components from both Big Picture, SCS, SCSII and Tactics.
Will there be any known oddities? I will use the Install pack to handle the components.

If someone could throw an eye on the list and see if I have missed any important fix packs in relations to my list, or if I have selected mods that are not necessery becuase I have not selected the big mods.

Thanks!

Why not use the BWS to make you the install ?
As you can manually update the list somehow(don't expect me to answer how though)... while using the option not to use the latest update, as you cannot as they are not available.

There's plenty of components in the Tactics that are copies of the others(in BP) in these mods, but they are mentioned in the main portion of the BWP guide(you mentioned it) as the option chosen in that is the eXpert one with the BP + SCS(I+II) AI... you only need to remove the eXpert mods to make the game playable if you decide to use the manual install and exract all the mod folders in the game folder before you install any mods, including the .exe mods that start their own setup-modname.exe's themselves(usually you can bypass that with WinRAR though).

I was to skip the BiG World Setup as I thought it was no longer maintained and would give me old versions of certain items =)
I might be wrong though?

I already have most of the mods downloaded from some time ago, so the upkeep is small in that sense.
