Greetings to everyone in the Black Wyrm community. I am the new kid on the block. I want to congratulate the site for the excellent security code i was asked to type ie: Icewind Dale. Even the security around here has something to do with the modded games! Bravo!

Here is my question. Below is a list of all the mods i will install in this my *th time of playing BG2+TOB.

Is it possible to also add "The Darkest Day" and/or "Shadows Over Soubar" and or "Improved Anvil"? Only if it is possible to combine fully with the above list. I was just wandering if it is possible to combine my list of mods with these 3 (or anyone of them) in one BIG game experience? Whoever answers, you should keep in mind that my prime concern is only for the list. If it is possible to put also Shadows Over Soubar, The Darkest Day, Improved Anvil, it's all for the better. If not and because i have already played TDD and SOS on separate occasions, will i have to not use a lot of the above in order for the rest to be compatible with Improved Anvil, and if yes, which will i be forced not to use?.

In the past I have crashed the game with improper combinations and/or order of installation of mods. Please have a look at my list and tell me if it is doable, along with your thoughts.

I haven't included an Xpcap remover in my list because i have another question to ask you about it. I want to put also the weimer spell50 mod. I was thinking of trying this time to not use the safe Xpcap remover that puts the limit to 40th level, but another that puts the limit to 50. I am confused though from what info i have found on the web, something to do with turning the xp to -1 and warping the characters huh.gif
Is it safe to use the 50 level Xpcap, or not?

Thank you.

The current version of Improved Anvil adds new quests and tactical challenges, improves battles and encounters, new types of monsters, has a so-called Randomization program for items, adds many new powerful items, and installs a new Ranger kit as well. The AI is controlled by Improved Anvil's own scripting system, Polygonal Scripting System. Since there isn't yet a (more or less) complete, technically reliable fixpack available as a standalone mod, Improved Anvil has to apply its own fixes, i.e. it aims to fix what Baldurdash missed. (Contrary to the common (mis)belief, G3 BG2 Fixpack can't be considered a standard mod at all, because it makes too many unnecessary changes and causes incompatibility risks to many mods, not just to IA.) Improved Anvil also adds its own tweaks, these are in harmony with its tactical encounters and all the balance it creates.
