I am returning to BG after all these year because I just cant find any RPG that compares to it these days. I have already tried installing a certain amount of mods and failed. SO my question is, can anyone tell me what mods I can install to get the most custom content, e.g. spells/items/characters/quests/monsters/difficulty, all these without changing to the BGII engine and all that are compatible with each other.

I have tried Tutu but want to stik with BGI engine, I like the in-game avatars better, its harder and feels better to me. So anyone can tell me this please?

If you're playing BG1 without any conversions, you won't be able to get banters, interjections and romances from BG1 NPC Project, Finch, Indira and Gavin NPC. Xan Friendship is available for BG1, as is jastey's Slime Quest, Herbs and Potions Mod - check if In Candelight works there, it's a big quest.

For BG2, Banterpack + Unfinished Business + Dungeon Crawl + Tower of Deception + Kelsey NPC + Keto NPC + Xan NPC + Quest Pack + Flirt Pack + BG2 Tweak Pack is one of my favourite combinations. Kivan NPC, Romantic Encounters, Edwin Romance, the Longer Road(Irenicus NPC for ToB) are fun, too - check them out.

All links are available via PPG modlist.

Plain Baldur's Gate without TUTU I would get Stone of Askavar, Darkside of the Sword Coast, BG1 Adventure Pack, BG1 CoM Forge/Item Upgrade Mod which are found right here.
Her lips were red, her looks were free
Her locks were as yellow as gold
Her skin was white as leprosy.
The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she,
Who thicks man's blood with cold.

Meaning "The Grey Clan Episode I: In Candlelight". And there is a BG version for it, here.
And then there is the BG1 Unfinished Business.

These all sound awsome, but do they all work with each other because I have tried some number of combination with a few of these mods, but it crashes before even leaving candlekeep so I gave up. Is there an order of install to follow, extra patches/fixes anything?

I have BG saga edition patched with int TotSC patch, latest.

That kind of crash might be due to not having a Clean Install of BG. Be sure to try those instructions, then before installing mods try to leave Candlekeep. If you get a crash, then it's not due to mods.

No its definatly the mods, because I have played with Tutu and a couple of other tutu based mods and it never crashed once. but with non tutu mods I get plent of crashes.

Hm. Well I'll assume you've done a full install of the game, so I'll have to ask that you provide a WeiDu log or a rundown of all the mods you are currently trying to run together.

There may be compatiblity issues somewhere along the line, but I can't say for certain, so yes, a log would be most helpful to solve this dilema. :)

Edit: Sorry, didn't see some of the sentences before.

Darkside of the Sword Coast must be installed first. We made a Darkside version of these mods, BG1 Adventure Pack, BG1 CoM Forge/Item Upgrade Mod. Intall them after DS.
For all of your BG modding needs: Chosen of Mystra.
