So anyways, finished my (manual) install a few hours before Jarno posted the above instructions; been playing BGT ever since (when I have time). For the most part i've been kinda surprised how stable it is, aside from a couple CTDs in SoBH content I haven't had any real problems, but i'm still not into SoA/TDD content yet.

Just wanted to shoot you guys a belated thanks for the directions on BWS, as I will be following these if I have problems/need to reinstall etc.

Hoping this is a more correct order...just SCS and SCSII have been moved, and BH WM patch placed.

3) BG2 Fixpack v9.01
4) TDD v1.13 (extract WM but don't install it)
5) BGT 1.08
6) Restored Textscreen Music v7b
7) SoBH v275a
8 ) Lure of the Sirine's Call v10
9) Thalantyr Item Upgrade Mod v3.6
10) BG1NPC Project
11) BG1 UB v11
12) BGT Tweak Pack v9
13) SCS v14 ----(after BG1 content but before BG2 content mods)
14) Banter Pack v11 + IEP Extended Banter v3.2
15) BG2 UB v18
16) SCSII v13
17) BGT_Worldmap_v7.1
18) Bonehill_WM_v7 (file description says this update is required for SoBH to work properly with WMv7)

Jarno - yes I understand the basics of how the BiG World Setup works, far as I can understand it finds and downloads all the available listed mods then gives you a selection of pre set installs to choose from, or something like that. I have no desire to download the entire list of available mods...since the list of the ones i'd like to use is rather small and i've already downloaded them all.

If there's a way I can use these downloads with the BWS that would be cool, but again when it comes to computers i'm not techinally inclined, and have no experience using BWS, and have a hard time understanding some of the instructions in there (if I understand them at all).

Suffice to say i'm still a noob here.

i'll worry about the BGII(+ mods) when I get there.

A very bad idea. Install order means a lot. Checkout BiG World Project (BWP) v7.0.

Reason being I was just going to save my character files (at end of BG), uninstall the entire thing (more or less) and just install the BGII + components and continue on with my main characters on a fresh install (without BG1 content), at that point. Used to do this because of all the problems associated with running the mega mods in a full BGT installation with lots of small addon mods included. Albeit that was years ago and I haven't looked at the BWP info much.

I had lots and lots and lots of problems running the mega mods before with BGT, so im a bit hesitant to try BWP.... regardless, are you saying my install is bad and I should dump it and use BWP?
