Thank you! Also I found that EET_Tweaks handles XP reduction.

 

Also, what ended up happening with Weimar's Solaufein?

Gotcha. Ok, I've done some more research. I've narrowed down the list of mods I used last time to the mods that I rated 8/10 or higher personally. I'd say about 90% of them are in EET at least unofficially. This is good news, as I've decided I want to try EET for the next playthrough.

 

I have a few more questions:

1) what's happening with Lure of the Sirine's Call? I think @jastey was working on this one.

2) What kind of mods would you say are important but that I might have forgotten? For example, the Worldmap mod, not something you think about as content but turns out it's necessary, basic stuff. I'll put my list below.

3) What are some great mods you would recommend I try? I last played a full game through 10 years ago, so I'm sure there's a lot of content since then. Hit me with your reccs!

4) How should I handle things like XP reduction? The more content you add the more you might end up overleveled.BWS used to have recommendations for this, not sure what to do now.

 

Here is my list so far. The three mods I think I will miss most are Beyond The Law, Tortured Souls and Improved Asylum:

Oh, for that list I was wondering about EE/EET compatibility. I think the BWP was mostly dealing with Classic, right?

Hmm, I guess I just don't trust a weidu.log from so long ago. And I'm less concerned about the construction of such a list than I am about making poor choices. Anyway, thank you for your help so far.

I do have a WEIDU log but it's from years ago. I guess I can put together a list of mods and ask for help with ordering.
