Another Mega Mod question
#1 -ghost-

I avoided to install (in the beginning) some components from the BG1UB mod because they are added also by jarls bgt adventure pack. Like the restored elfsong tavern and svlast the fallen paladin and Mal kalen.
The problem is that now I was just installing jarls pack and I just then saw that it needs infinity animations which I don't use. So now I can't install it. So my question is would it be safe to install the components from BG1UB that I skipped now? It seems very risky but who knows maybe somebody knows it's safe. Otherwise I will just skip them.

And the components are likely different between the mods, even if they touch the same files ... as usually the mods try to differ from each others at least a bit.
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'm installing manually by hand and I just discovered a little mistake I've made.

You can install BG1ub components later, however two of them require 1pp as well
@19=Minor Dialogue Restorations
@21=Store, Tavern and Inn Fixes and Restorations
Depending on other mods, especially BG1NPCs there may be overlap, so the mod may automatically skip a component if is already installed by a previous one. You need not to worry, the checks are included in the mod setup.

Thanks for replies.
The Imp: I have already consulted the BWP manual as well as BWS for install order - that is not the problem. The problem is that I have already installed BG1UB like a hundred mods ago without those components. My concern is if it's safe to run BG1UB for a second time now at the end of the install to fill in the missing components.
Roxanne: 1pp? I don't use that. But perhaps you meant infinity animations? I use neither but I don't believe BG1UB requires either of those. Or is there something else you mean?
To be perfectly clear - BG1UB is already installed at the correct spot long ago. The only components I speak of now is Nim Fuhrlwing encounter, restored elfsong tavern movie, svlast the fallen paladin and mal kalen the ulcaster revenant. I wonder if these are safe to be installed so deep into the install almost at the end of it.

Yes.

The manual install of the mod will allow you to skip all the already installed components when you run the setup- file, use that option... or at least make sure to not try to uninstall the currently already installed components, cause that will break your game ... well it's very likely at least and will take hours .. as that will uninstall all the mods before the selected mod was installed... jadajada ... etc.

Yes thanks the both of you. The components seemed to install well.
