Each time I have tried this mod in a mega install I have had one specific problem, namely that the experience resets to 2.95m every time after I load a savegame. I can not be totally sure but it definitely seems to happen only with this mod in my install.
 
It is also mentioned in this thread but only in passing: http://www.shsforums...95m-in-bwp-143/
 
Furthermore, it is said in the mods readme that it messes with the experience cap of the game so it seems likely to be the culprit of this problem.
 
But this was years ago. I'm wondering if someone knows if this has changed? What's the status of this? And also, can this be fixed somehow these days? The thread I linked talks about a "ctbfix" thingy (a quick weidu patch that edits the bgmain.exe to up the experience cap again), which is great and all, but can we be sure it will also work with Longer Road? Maybe someone knowing a bit of the insides of this mod can answer this.
 
 
And a second thing is that when I try to install it via BWS (BGT) I get some warnings. Not sure how harmful they are?

The warnings are harmless. Ignore them.

 

The xpcap issue was fixed for the EE/EET update but that does not affect BGT which is technically different in that respect. Last time I played BGT about 3 years ago I did not have this problem, but I cannot say if it was due to a fix or joust luck.

Thank you, Roxanne. Hmm yeah I think I will try my luck also then :) do you remember if you used that ctbxpfix file in your install that time? Maybe I can just run it for safety anyway, I mean it can't hurt.. right :ermm:

I am pretty sure that I did not use it. If anything in BGT, I used the aurora mod xp settings, some component to adjust also mod xps, and something to remove any xpcap.

 

Most likely, today I would probably use EET_Tweaks. Despite its name, it supports also the other games. My experience with it in EET is very positive. Of course I never used it in BGT as it was not available back then.

Alright thanks for the tips :) Honestly I thought EET Tweaks was included in the BGT part of BWS by a mistake :P I'll definitely check it out.

Check this, especially point compatibility

If you go to components description you will see that the xp related tweaks are universal ones, except those related to SoD.
