Due to hard drive crash I have to reinstall NWN plus SOU-HOU from scratch [and lost most hard-worked chars in the process!!!] I did install from the original CDs, but now I wonder:

1) Should I update first and add CEP module later or vice-versa?

2) I have stored the latest update file - does it include all previous updates or should I download online again (massive file downloads is a huge problem on dial-up).

If anyone can offer any advice, I would appreciate it.

1) Common sense for me says first all official and then the CEP. Isn't it on the CEP site what to install first?

2) Depends on the versions it upgrades. IIRC there were a lot of different updates, say 1.62 to 1.65 and another for 1.63 to 1.65 and one for 1.64 to 1.65. If you have the correct version numbers then you can re-use it. I think you can always try in any case the updater will tell you if it's ok or not and if not it won't install.

Problem is the CEP site is currently unavailable... this means - next weekend...

You can download it from IGN.

It can be found here
