Hello everyone,

I am very interested in installing Big Picture and all its associated mods.

What I have done already:

Installed BG II
Installed ToB
Installed latest official ToB patch
Installed latest Baldurdash fixpack

What I want to install:

Freedom's Reign of Virtue WeiDU v3
Shadows over Soubar v1.12
The Darkest Day v 1.12
Tortured Souls BP compatible WeiDU version 6 (incompatible with NEJ(?)) (which is best in your opinion, Tortured souls or NeJ?)
Never Ending Journey (incompatible with TS (?)) (which is best in your opinion, Tortured souls or NeJ?)
Big Picture v 1.77 (I assume I am to download this version and none of the patches listed below at the Black Wyrm's Lair mod list?)

Not-as-vital mods that I'd still like to install:
Ease-of-Use v32
Item Upgrade v35
Soulafein v1.02
Spell 50 v6
Unrepresented Items v5
SP item pack
BoM Item Pack
BG2 Tweak Pack v6.0


Have I understood it correctly that all of these, except G3 Tweaks (this is the same as BG2 Tweak Pack, right?), should be installed before Big Picture, and that I should avoid any XP Cap Remover, True Grand Mastery and "Un-Nerfed" parts of Ease of Use and other mods? What order of installation should be followed when installing all these mods?

Multiple huge thanks to anyone who is willing to help

Regards,
Bahir

Read this post: http://www.shsforums...opic=31361&st=5 -- especially the links, and you'll be ready to install and play in short order.

Short answers:
-- the current version of 'Never Ending Journey' is not compatible with megainstall (read the link above, you'll learn what this is), so you won't be playing with it anyway.
-- 'G3 Tweaks' = 'BG2 Tweak Pack' = 'Ease-of-Use'... Use 'G3 Tweaks' instead of 'Ease-of-Use'
-- the other mods will work fine
-- all other questions relate to install order. Read the link(s) thoroughly and you'll do fine.

Thanks for the help!

The game seems to be running smoothly so far... I'm running a 2 player party with one Drow battle monger/cleric and one Svirfneblin/mage... SK'ed, but that's the way I like it. Haven't encountered anything to harmful yet; the magic resistance sure comes in handy, and the melee attacks haven't been to bad even though I'm playing on insane... but I'm keeping my hopes up.

Are you able to travel to north forest/ small teeth pass?
