The question which springs to mind is why have you decided to install "concurrent romance" and "flirt pack" if you don't have any of the romanceable females in the party??? I am not saying that this is the reason of the crash but they just a waste of space.

Now about the crashes- it is important that you install your mods in correct order. In your case it should be: BGII, ToB, official patch, BGII/ToB Fix Pack 112, than Tashia, Kelsey and the other stuff with "NPC Flirt Pack" last.

What I would advise you it to move your savegames somewhere else, uninstall the game completly (including the Black Isles folder which unistallation leaves behind)and reinstall it in from the scratch.
If you are well into the game I would leave off "Dungeon Begone", it does not go well with many other mods althrough I am not sure if it is the cause of your crashes.

Yes Tashia is an older mod and should always be installed before Kelsey and newer mods. Consequently you can either reinstall everything as suggested or you can uninstall mods from latest to earliest then reinstall in proper order.

LOL, I know just what you mean......by now I have reinstalled this bloody game 6 or 7 times!!! The most annoying thing is that you never really know when someting will go wrong!!! On 2 different occasions my "Nalia's romance" mod behaved nicely until way into chapter 2. But when the game just froze during the wedding scene and that was that. Of course, since I never really knew what caused the problem, I needed to start the game all over again without knowing if I will be any luckier this time!!!

Sometimes you need to do a bit of detective work.... In my latest game 3 NPCs (Nalia, Viconia and Jaheira) started behave weirdly all of the sudden (lagging behind, not reacting to commands ect.). I have finally worked out that is was a "concurrent romance, say what you want" patch interfering with "Nalia's romance" mod in a quite an unexpected way!!! I have removed the offending patch and things go soothly (at least for now, fingers crossed...)

p.s. I would advise a total reinstall, I know that it is a bit of a chore but mods can screw up with your registry so if you unistall just them, you might never be abble to reinstall them back properly.

Thanks for your help, I'll reinstall tonight.
I'm gonna get good at this reinstalling...

Thanks again.

I plan to live forever or die trying!

I know all about the reinstallation thing. I'm used to it, considering all the public mods I've downloaded and the many personal mini-mods I've created for myself and a friend. It seems that after a month or two of game-time I have to reinstall the game because of bugs, ranging from the annoying (like duo Tashias) to the crippling.

Quite, yes. But what's wrong with two Tashia's? Twice the fun, no?

I've had my own share of bugs too. I had my entire screen filled once with Gaelan's kid (don't remember his name) cause of a bad Weidu roll. Something like that just makes you reinstall.

Now imagine having two Anomens (the horror, the horror).

Well if I think of it that way about the clones then yes, that could be cool, but I usually consider the duo an abomination. I keep one, and destroy the other, usually by a swift hammer to the head. I don't loot the corpse, that would be exploiting a bug.

About having two Anomens, well I'd either not notice them (because I generally ignore him, not useful enough IMO), or I'd immediately destroy *both* of them. Nah, maybe I'd only kill one, leave the other around. His life is only big enough for one of 'em.
