Here I am responding to this topic 4 years later!

I had the same problem that the original poster had, step stuttering included.  I was not at the correct stage with the Yvette romance when I entered Spellhold.  I also had YvetteRomanceActive = 3; I have no idea why based on my search for that variable in Near Infinity.

I changed the globals to the suggested values above and everything worked.

I'm wondering if part of the issue with this romance is that it assumes that you are much farther along in the romance than I was by the time you enter Spellhold.  I basically started the romance during Chapter 3.  It being 4 years later, it's probably too much to ask for an updated script to account for late bloomers, if you will.  Maybe an accelerated romance path if you haven't reached a certain stage by the time Chapter 4 starts?  Although that wouldn't address why the YvetteRomanceActive variable was set to 3.

As a follow up to this, I cleared rh#israromancecheck and everything was resolved.  I have no idea what caused the blocked romance in the first place though it might have been that I romanced Dynaheir in BG1; maybe her death wasn't considered in the transition to BG2.

Yes, I used the EET Install Tool.  The readme for the downloaded mod says version 3.

Thanks for the reply.  Everything worked for me now.  Interestingly, the entrance into the orc shaman cave became available after I took the ring and dagger into *and* back out of the adjacent grave/tomb.  Also, it seems it's not sufficient to just have the Symbol of Helm, but that you also recovered the sword and wonder where the body is actually located.

I'm pretty sure the druid circle is related to the Orc King Tomb since you supposedly find the Orc King's sword there? 

Just to be sure I'm on the right page, the orc king's tomb is on the west side of the Fields of the Dead and the entry is flanked by 2 pillars with 4 round large round stones with a design on them in front.

Regarding gaining entry to the orc king's tomb, I have both in my inventory.  When I click on the entrance (I just get a '?'), I get the message that the catacombs are protected by powerful magic and that the seal was put in place by priests of Helm.
