The game stutters, roughly half a second out of every two seconds, unless the party has a dead Nalia or Aerie in it. Removing said NPCs causes it to come back, whether they were dead or alive, as does reviving them, and it doesn't stop if they leave the area. The game is perfectly smooth when paused or when said NPCs are dead and in the party, which led me to believe it might be an issue with scripts, but LTest doesn't give me anything other than the area scripts(which aren't to blame, I even just tried straight up deleting one wtih NI just to make sure).

As it's less than a hour into BG2, there have been very few creatures summoned, containers used or quests activated. The ToB new game fix completely cleared up any stuttering earlier in my playthrough, but has no effect on this specific issue. Also, ambient sounds are off.

So, where do I go from here? Could it be that LTest isn't working properly because I deleted a few kit specific scripts from Baldur/Baldur25.bcs,roughly 50 lines per, prior to installing it and it is a script issue afterall? Does the fact that it clears up when Baldur.bcs is deleted(overwritten with an empty script) mean that the script is somewhere in there? If so, is the best course of action to just delete parts of Baldur.BCS, a few thousand lines at a time, until the problem goes away and then try to narrow it down?

if it happens in every area but only with these two npcs, it must be something related to them directly. i cannot confirm but suspect one of the various romance mods.

btw. the word romance appears 40 times in your weidu.log. did you know that AD&D means Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and not Advanced Damsels and Dimlight ?
