Let the bws install ascension for you, it will install the right one. Longer Road is like an improved version of Redemption. I definitely recommend The Longer Road: It is one of my favorite mods of all time. Longer Road requires Ascension and again BWS will help you with that.

I really like Longer Road myself as I played it like 5 years ago with no other mods to avoid compatibility issues. Got a pretty good and satisfactory ending ^^
Would certainly be nice to try it with many mods as long as it does not raise the chance of bugs and other bad stuff. The more the merrier.

I agree with that, Sandrah should work with any of the Ascension mods as long as you get the Solar's choice at the end of the game as that would transfer you into the Return to Faerun sequel.
I was considering for a long time to make Longer Road mandatory for Sandrah. It is not essential to play the mod, but the Ellesime/Joneleth plot and other scenes from the mod enlighten some of the stuff my mod adds to ToB. This provides a better story flow to that part of the game even if you decide not take Irenicus with you. I can recommend it but I will not dictate it for Sandrah.

I think SCS and BP should not be installed together. All I can say is that I had the same error you reported before I installed the respective BP options and was successful after I did.

So BP is the superior option to SCS? Allright then I'll select most of the required stuff there.
That said while installing Ascension I kinda wanted the bonus stuff like being able to recruit Balthazar or Bohdi and the new transformation options for the MC. If I choose BP Improved Ascension install will I get that stuff or do I need to search for that somewhere else that in the BG2 Tactical Encounters section?
I selected all the options that I seemed to be missing and unchecked SCS. Though the program itself seems to point that SCS are a better option than BP. Also the program says that Ascension in its normal form is better than Improved Ascension that BP offers(even though normal Ascension does not have ToB Improvements and Watcher Keep Improvements)
Furthermore I got another big problem:
Return to Faerun Compiles needs Ajantis, Longer Road and Yasraena: SandrahRtF (component 6) needs AjantisBG2 (component 0), LongerRoad (component 0) and Yasraena (component 0).
Basically BWS forces me to install LR but the program itself got trouble registering that I got LR in my download folder. And yet if I do not choose it then it seemingly won't instal RtF.
What to do?

I am still struggling with BWS myself at the moment.
If I install SandrahRtF v1.06b manually after I did BWS, everything works fine because some older dependencies have been removed from rhe mod now.

The commands seemingly work for now so I choose "select" and later "force" to have the newest versions of Sandrah installed but:
The extraction of the following mod(s) failed: Dark Horizons: The Mod itself (DarkHorizonsBGT211.zip) Northern Tales of the Sword Coast: The Mod itself (NTotSC_v170a.rar) Check the Bodies: The Mod itself (CtBv1.13a.rar) Weimer's Tactics: The Mod itself (Weimer-TacticsMod-v25.exe) The following mods cannot be installed because of missing dependence: Check the Bodies - Fast Forward Candlekeep Chores Check the Bodies cutscene improvement Northern Tales of the Sword Coast (Dialog-Patch) Return to Faerun Tethyr Forest Patch Sandrah NPC: 0004: Sandrah Kit 0005: SandrahNPC Creatures and Items 0002: SandrahNPC for BGT Core 0003: Mods Compatibility 0008: SandrahNPC for BGT Compiles 0009: Pelligram, Sandrah's Animal Companion 0006: Sandrah Shops 0007: Sandrah Movies and Sounds 0010: Worldmap Update for SandrahNPC for BGT 0011: SandrahNPC Extensions 0000: SandrahNPC Check for required Installation 0001: Sandrah Worldmap Entries 0012: Mod Interactions 0014: Sandrah ToB (BGT) 0015: Sandrah Return To Faerun Transition 0013: Shauhana for Shadow of Amn BGT Yikari NPC: 0003: Compatibility with Kuroisan (from Tactics or Big Picture)
The thing is that I got those mods in my download folder and in my previous installation all worked but now...
So the program gives me these options:
Some files were not extracted. Do you want the BWS to run an integrity test on
those files first, provide the files yourself (see remarks) or just continue?
Enter [t]est, [p]rovide or [c]ontinue.
So...should I run an integrity test, select those very mods I got in my folder again or maybe choose an older version of Sandrah?
LULZ keep coming:
The following files seem to be damaged:
DarkHorizonsBGT211.zip
NTotSC_v170a.rar
CtBv1.13a.rar
And those are the very files that worked well in all previous mods installs and were perfectly downloaded.
So now I cannot select which files I want anymore and my only options are "download"(which doesn't work), "extract" (which if I do I receive a notice that I'm not allowed to do so there) or "skip" (which given how CtB seems to be essential will mess the mod).
BWS is quite a troll.
Here is the whole trollish window:
The extraction of the following mod(s) failed:
Dark Horizons: The Mod itself (DarkHorizonsBGT211.zip)
Northern Tales of the Sword Coast: The Mod itself (NTotSC_v170a.rar)
Check the Bodies: The Mod itself (CtBv1.13a.rar)
Weimer's Tactics: The Mod itself (Weimer-TacticsMod-v25.exe)
The following mods cannot be installed because of missing dependence:
Check the Bodies - Fast Forward
Candlekeep Chores
Check the Bodies cutscene improvement
Northern Tales of the Sword Coast (Dialog-Patch)
Return to Faerun
Tethyr Forest Patch
Sandrah NPC:

BP is marked red in BWS. Also, I did not install BP with Sandrah and my install worked. We should definitely work not to require BP for Sandrah. SCS is more recommended.

*Whew* I finally successfully installed it all. All seems to work well except for some slowdowns in certain areas like Gorion's Rest and Beregost.
At least I can focus a bit more on playing, as installing had proven to be quite a trial. Its good that I'm so damn stubborn.
Can one ask for hints(if stuck in the game) as well as offer some constructive criticism, praise and maybe suggestions on the content of the mod itself or is this thread mainly for the technical aspect of the mod?

Slowdown may not be due to Sandrah but probably has another reason. In older times and on smaller computers the reason was sometimes bags of holding (I heard that is improved meanwhile but I cannot confirm it, I never use containers in my games at all,)
At least I can focus a bit more on playing, as installing had proven to be quite a trial. Its good that I'm so damn stubborn.
I am just about to finish a mega BWS installation including Sandrah, and YES It is not easy but I am stubborn as well - and even with some manual intervention it is a thousand times better than downloading, unpacking and installing all the mods by hand.
Can one ask for hints(if stuck in the game) as well as offer some constructive criticism, praise and maybe suggestions on the content of the mod itself or is this thread mainly for the technical aspect of the mod?
This is the main reason why this forum exists - the mod is still under test and development.

Oh, that is a bit of a shame as it is always interesting to share ones thoughts on something.
Hmmm, maybe I can ask a few questions though:
1. Are there multiple endings to RtF? Since most characters of the original saga got their epilogues in the ToB part then does RtF expand on these epilogues or are their replaced in RtF depending on whether they agreed to carry on for another adventure or not? Also like how the plot itself can have a different conclusion like how one could have an evil god, good god or reject godhood ending in ToB?
2. How long would you estimate the content to RtF?
3. Are there different endings for Sandrah herself based on the choices, adventures, romances and extra mods that one has?
4. Is there a reward for the player staying faithful in a relationship with her and not pursuing other girls? I noticed in the readme that she does not interfere with other romances and can have some of her own(which is quite interesting) so I wondered if there is some reward if the PC does not focus at all on other chicks and only shows interest in her from beginning to end? If PC flirts and romances others then clearly she should have freedom to do the same but what about devoted players? Does it affect her reactions somehow?
5. Are there some quests that are absolutely a must in BG1 which if missed can cut down the content of what can happen in BG2 and ToB part significantly or are such "only" expansions that offer greater insight on Sandrah including the bond she has with her father as well as expands her past and goals BUT can be ignored and the main plot with her can still move on?
6. Since I recall starting with an evil character being not an option given how she does not appear then could it be that she got more content with good aligned characters(being one herself) or do neutral aligned ones get all the content available nevertheless?
Sorry for so many questions.

Maybe I did not phrase it correctly. YES, this forum is here to ask questions and make comments!!!
I just suggest to put questions that reveil too much of the story into spoiler format, so only those who want to read can read and others may still try to figure things out by themself.

Also like how the plot itself can have a different conclusion like how one could have an evil god, good god or reject godhood ending in ToB?
Spoiler
.2. How long would you estimate the content to RtF?
Currently it is about the size of contents that ToB including Longer Road has.
If I say *currently* I mean that by design of the plot and the new areas it can be expanded with additional add-ons just like SoA. Like the original game it sets a playground and a main story but there is no restriction to let it end there.
3. Are there different endings for Sandrah herself based on the choices, adventures, romances and extra mods that one has?
No.... and yes.
What becomes of her in the very end is not yours to choose, she will make that choice herself - you can choose what will be your part in it, or if you will be part of it at all - or if will get to know about her further story at all.
4. Is there a reward for the player staying faithful in a relationship with her and not pursuing other girlsI noticed in the readme that she does not interfere with other romances and can have some of her own(which is quite interesting) so I wondered if there is some reward if the PC does not focus at all on other chicks and only shows interest in her from beginning to end? If PC flirts and romances others then clearly she should have freedom to do the same but what about devoted players? Does it affect her reactions somehow?
There is no direct reward for that The way she will react to your different romances is different for each of them and hopefully interesting each time. There is a reward system of how you treat her and her needs (in romance but also in helping her quests).
The reason she is that way is obvious. She is designed to stay with you throughout the game. To give her a character to claims you all for herself would aniliate all those beautiful romances that are in the game and thus be completely unfair, right?? i hope my solution adds to the game without destroying other people's work
Her reaction to whatever you do with Phaere is hopefully unique.
And...a lot of things will be different for a male or female PC.
5. Are there some quests that are absolutely a must in BG1 which if missed can cut down the content of what can happen in BG2 and ToB part significantly or are such "only" expansions that offer greater insight on Sandrah including the bond she has with her father as well as expands her past and goals BUT can be ignored and the main plot with her can still move on?

She is relatively neutral and has not that blind view on good or evil that others may have. Only if you decide to be a truely evil character from the very start, killing innocents etc to keep your reputation low, she is not for you.
She is also a character that will evolve over the game, the more you and her experience during the game the more her views change.
Spoiler
Sorry for so many questions.
PS: With respect to slowdown mentioned earlier - Did you *biff* the game and cleaned up with the BWP/BWS tools?
