The correct order to install things

[Xen]

Hi guys. It's been a hell of a lot time since I last played BG2: SOA + TOB along with mods.

So I decided to go through it again with my friend.

Can anyone tell me what's the correct order to install things? Especially with these new patches.

Is this the right order?

• SOA+TOB
• Official TOB Patch
• G3 Fixpack
• 3rd party mods

[ElfBane]

The first 2 are correct. As to the G3 fixpak, what does the readme say?

this is a bit old now but still probably useful

if the g3 fixpack is intended as an alternative to baldurdash i reckon the order is about right with '3rd party mods' being a bit more complicated than one entry

Yes, that's right.

With mods, it goes this way:

1) Old mods (like Ascension and big mods, if you want to use them)
2) Regular NPC mods(Kelsey, Keto, Solaufein, Xan, Kivan, etc); Romantic Encounters and Banter Pack may also go there
3) Quest mods(Quest Pack, Unfinished Business, Dungeon Crawl, Tower of Deception, and so on)
4) Crossmod Banter Pack and Flirt Pack
5) BG2 Tweaks

Something like this should work.

i did this post awhile back hope this helps

Heya, I would suggest you get the following Modules. First off, I would presume you have Baldurs Gate 1 and Baldurs Gate 2 expansion. Get both thier official patches which can be found on Bioware. Second, get these modules, BGtweaks and BgFixpack. Both can be found on the link below http://www.gibberlings3.net/ If you want to play baldurs gate 1 using BG2 engine, your welcome to do so using the BGT (Baldurs Gate Trilogy Module) link: http://www.spellholdstudios.net/ Lastly, get the worldmap also found in Spellhold Studios Other modules which enhance the game play would be acension, and unfinished business Modules that would give a wicked challenge (not for newbies would be Tactics). Alot of those modules can also be found here. http://modlist.pocketplane.net/ I would recommend the following installation procedure Full Installation of Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 + Expansion, Install both thier official patches Then install BGFixpack Then install Any huge modules (meaning BGT FIRST then unfinished business or Darkest Day or Shadows of Soubar Then BGtweaks Then all other modules you wish to put in Lastly the WorldMap Module. Enjoy and good luck btw. this is my 2c [img]smile.gif[/img]
