Yes, you can reach the locations without map component Well, if that wasn't possible, I wouldn't add the possibility in TotDG you may not even realize that something is lacking, and with Innershade you will have to go to City Gates and tell one man that you want to go to the village - that's all!
BTW, did you start at least one game before installation of the mod? The mod tries to update the savegames and if there isn't even a single savegame, the error appears.
Thanks for the response I figured that was the case.. so is it safe to go back and add both TotDG and Innershade without a fresh install?
Yes, I created a game and did a quick save with BG1TotSC, BG2 & ToB before starting with the mods. I tried pretty much everything my non-modder mind could think of for a solution, including re-installing fresh a few times trying without certain mods and in different orders.
