i haven't played baldur's gate in several years, and need some help figuring out what order to install my mods.  i remember that last time i played i did have some gameplay problems. the following is a list of all the mods that i plan on using. any help would be apreiciated.

 

baldur's gate and tales of the sword coast

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal
bg patch us5512

BGII-ThroneofBhaal_Patch_26498_ENGLISH

G3 bg1npc v12beta

G3 bg2 tweaks v11

G3 bg2 fixpack v10

bgt tweak v11

defjam v6

Dark side of the sword coast v181full

Freedom's Reign - Reign of Virtue v8

unfinished business v19

imoen romance v1.202 full

imoen soa soundtrack

imoen tob soundtrack

check the bodies v1.8

edwin romance SoA v1.07

edwin romance ToB v1.07

edwin flirts v.01.b

xan romance v8

 

those are the mods that i have.  not sure if i'm missing any that are needed.  i seem to remember something about a map mod, but don't know what its called.

 

i also had a banter pack mod for bg1, but can't find one on the sites that i've searched.

 

thanks

You have very old mods, I suggest you to use BWS from my signature - It would be a really nice if someone new will use tool and provide feedback.

 

what does the mod do?

The BWS, or BiG World Setup is not a mod, but a Setup tool for all BG2 mods, you only need to have a BG2 ToB installed with the latest patch, so the install order for that is:
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal
BGII-ThroneofBhaal Patch v2.5.26498 -which is what you have
And it also request the BG1 directory if you want the BGT-weidu to be installed(it's optional). And that install order in another directory is this:
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate Tales of the Sword Coast
bg patch v1.3.5512 (which is likely what you have).
The tool downloads, extracts and installs the mods you choose during the install run, and you can include and exclude as many mods and components you wish, which there's about ~1500 options.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

i've been looking at the tool, but can't find options for installing BGT and CtB, do i have to do those manually?

Nope, they are there, they should be easy to find, just search for "check" or the "bodies" for example, or "Baldur's" or "Gate Trilogy" or what ever... yeah, it has a search option for mods if you noticed.

ok, figured out my problem.  i had the wrong install method selected.  thanks for the help, this looks like a good tool

 

*edit* just saw your post alien, and yes that is where i went wrong.  the first time i fired it up i didn't notice the drop down arrow to select different install types.
