Tips on installation and compatibility, Guess who's back in circulation? Options

[wellunhappy]

First off well done for the new version of NEJ2 it’s nice to see a mod started and within a reasonable time limit actually finished and not left in some horrible buggy mess, if anyone is listening over at team BP ....I know I’m going straight to Hades for that but they love me really.

I’m about to install and just need a few tips on correct order and such.

Chloe and Tashia remix v1.0 are musts and I’m assuming that these are okay either before or after NEJ is okay. Right?

Main Components (in this order):
TS v6.11 +
Tower of Deception +
PlanarSphereMod 26a +
Deeper_Shadows_of_Amn_v2.2 +
difficult brown dragon
ghost shadow dragon
grothar the red dragon
DarkRitual_101+
Improved Asylum.92+
NeJ2 v6.9.1

Rule changes added AFTER NEJ.
NEJ patch
NEJ portal mover (It’s not a story thing)
TDD Character Kits (ONLY)
BG2 Fixpack v1
remove dual-classing restrictions from archers and stalkers
BG2 Tweak Pack
weapon styles for all
expanded dual-class options
turn off cloak of mirroring
spell trap
Sword and fist
monk remix
Oversight
monk high level abilities
Shadows of Amn item import
Ruad Ro'fessa item upgrade v20
Weimer-ItemUpgrade-v32.exe

thanks people

Nice to see you return!

Many things you listed you actually don't need. NeJ2 is full of new items, new spells, creatures etc. So in order to preserve the high stability and playability of the mod, I insist on installing it without many other mods. Beleive me, a dozen of additional super-items, new solo NPCs or a new bunch of enemeis are not worth the stability of the NeJ2. In any way to minimize the compatibility problems, please install Cloe, Tasha and other your favourite mods before installation of TS and NeJ2. I would advice on the following installation:

SoA + ToB + ToB patch + Baldurdash-WeiDU v1.64 + [optional mods] + TS v6.11 + NeJ2 v6.9.1 + v6.9.3.

If you do decide to install optional mods of yours such as Chloe and Tasha, you may encounter problems, which have not been reported before, so you will be on your own in solving these problems. In addition to what Chev said, I would like to stress that I strongly against installation of BG2 fixpack an tweak pack, and any of their components. As I mentioned before, some cosmetic changes you get from there are not worth the stability of the whole game. On the other hand, Baldurdash-WeiDU is a must.

Good luck!
