Also the second question for those who are expieranced at such matters. What mods do you like or use that arn't included in BP+BGT? I have been reading these forums and came across several great mods that I might try out in the future, so I'm asking of those with more expierance to see what they think.
Thanks,
John

Well your right, I would have more questions so I registered Well, install doesn't seem that hard. I was just confused before since I found around three different topics or so about installing BP+BGT. So I was wondering what was the latest and stable one to follow.
Though I'm looking to make the most out of the game, I had BG 1 and 2 and their expansions for a while, though never really beat the game or got far for that matter since after my laptop got fried years ago, I lost the game though recently uncovered the CD's so I'm giving it another shot. I do have a question for you Azazello, I followed that link in your signature and was wondering if those mods worked with the latest BP+BGT with no (or minor) problems?

No, there are (minor/major) problems with not only my own list but even the ones that are fully and excellently described in the various guides.
I have the (good?) fortune that I can hack my way thru fixing/working around most of the issues that affect my lists. Even then, I am prepared for more, hopefully minor, problems that will occur within the game. And they will be there...
I would advise you to NOT go with a MegaInstall. This is no personal insult to you. I feel that given your experience with the game, you should try a "miniInstall", that way you get some experience playing with a lot of smaller mods, will get used to dealing with smaller level problems, and most importantly, can spend more time playing and enjoying the game than banging your head against a wall due to some frustrating problems.
So, what's a miniInstall. Really, it's just BG2 +/- ToB + some NON-MegaInstall mods.
So if you look at the second list from my signature, that is "miniMegaInstall" - because it has Reign of Terror (RoT) in it. If you removed RoT, then it would be a miniInstall.
Try that, to get started. Whatever help you need, post here and we all help you out.
