Do not try to use a megamod install on your first try.

Gads! I mean, it's not like I plan on playing 400 hours of BG1 & 2 a bunch more times. I've already played (half of) it once. I was hoping to make this pass kind of rock and move on.

Ah, well...

Thanks for the info, though.

Double check all your cosen mods with the BWP Linkliste

For mod's that aren't present in the linkliste (and there shouldn't too many ) google's your friend!

Actually, I've spent the last 3 days (what I have of them) parsing that entire thread into a Word doc. Even with reductions and eliminations of extraneous text, it started at 58 pages long. I'm down to about half that now.

One of the peculiarities of (my, at least) ADD/Dyslexia is that it's extremely difficult to "see" information in a massive group (which is why I live in File Maker Pro ). Color helps; multiple languages...not so much. So all I can do is move items I've chosen, painstakingly, in to a second list, while eliminating what I reject, all the while studying all the hot, new stuff to see if I want/need it. Slogging through massive packs of new items and such at the moment.

Decision making is hard for me under the best of circumstances. In the above thread, I'm like a kid in a candy store. Where some of the candy is poison. And contains sharp needles and broken glass.

But I should be through the list crawl in a day or two, at which time I can sample the links there for version numbers and such.

Anything from that list that you guys recommend/warn off? I mean sections like Quest Mods, Stores & Items, Rules & Tweaks, and esoteric, small-scale stuff like that?

Oh, and Google may be my friend,...but it's fair-weather for some of these mods! Some of the problems I got into in the first place were the result of conflicting messages from Teh Interwebz.

Where are these old files coming from? Saerileth is at version 15.

Snap! That's what I'm talking about here, Soul...between the dyslexia/ADD and the complexity of the stuff going on, it's hard to know that anything I'm seeing is accurate.

As to your question, I wasn't even sure I could answer. But I retraced the trail. Jarno hipped me to this great resource, and the link there lead me to this page. At the bottom is the link to v.13. I found no other at that time. But it appears that you have a completely different version of the host page, and clearly another download link, which I've now used (thank you!).

But you imply that more than one of my files is outdated. Surely if there was one mistake on that page, there might be others. Did you see more files above that I should update?

The wall of text comment was about the fact that I didn't actually bothered to read the whole thing.

HAHAHA!!! No worries.

I wouldn't recommend that you even try to build a game that has this mod... as the BWS has but it in the Expert version, and so it's extremely difficult to manage a bug less install with it, when everything else is included.

Sigh. Well, the main reason I considered NeJ was because I wanted Dar in my party (reminiscent of my old mate Daelen Red-Tiger from NWN). Then I got romantically attached to the idea of wandering through even part of IWD (that Kulduhar theme still gets me misty-eyed), especially with my new party. But further research shows that it's not the whole adventure, it seems to truncate the main quest of BG2, and now you warn that it's a minefield of techincal issues. I guess I'll have to replace ol' Dar with someone a little less costly. Unless someone knows where I can download him separately...

Well, the TDD's kits were made years ago and the restriction has been lifted by mod called ToBExtender, which adds a scroll bar to the kit selection box. And ups the kit restriction by few multiples(it was 255, now about 1000).

Does that mean no practical kit limit? Is adding kits not an issue now, or do I still have to manage or possibly delete some I'm not using?

Thanks for the info!

I'm back from my trip, so I'm hoping to bring this in to the homestretch, although parsing through this resource has me back making lists and checking them twice.

Yoshimo Friendship and Keeping Yoshimo are incompatible; you must chose one or the other.

Gavin (BG1 & BG2 versions) v.8 (downloaded) vs. v.20 (???)
You need to install both if you want Gavin throughout BG1 & BGII. Read the readmes for more info.

I wouldn't recommend the Imoen romance, because the last I heard it had a number of bugs. Times change, though, so I could be wrong.

Thanks, K'. That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for!

Jarno, I'll have to parse through your instructions (which look spot-on) when I'm back settled in. Sorry about the "wall of text..." but it seemed a short hedge next to most of what I've read so far.

Thanks again, all!
