Question of compatibility, Concerning Improved Anvil Options

[quinlan]

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.

Non WeiDU components:
1- BGII-ThroneofBhaal_Patch_26498_ENGLISH.exe
2- BG2ThroneOfBhaalFixPack112.exe
3- "Ultima Weapon" from Heartless Angel's Realm
4- BG2TOBFixedTearOfBhaalStatBonuses
5- Collector's Edition bonus merchants
6- BG2TOBDavidGaider'sBhaalpowers

WeiDU components:
1. Ascension v1.4.21
2. BG2ThroneOfBhaalGameTextUpdate12
3. NPCFlirtV101
4. BanterPacksV7
5. UnfinishedBusiness-v15
6. Azengaard Tactical Encounter MOD v2.0
7. LongerRoad_v1.5.1
8. Oversight-v10
9. NPC_Tweak-v3.1
10. Virtue_v19
11. BG2_Tweaks-v5
12. PnPCelestials-v4
13. D0Tweak_v19
14. Rogue Rebalancing Mod version 3.80
15. G3Anniversary-v5
16. Tower Of Deception Mod version v2
17. SPCollection-v7
18. D0QuestPack_v23.exe

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
Is it safe to use the 50 level Xpcap, or not?

Thank you.

Hey Quinlan and welcome! If you are looking for a great tactical challenge with AI then Improved Anvil will be a nice addition. Regarding some quest mods that would be compatible, I think, then you may try the full versions of Neverending Journey and Tortured souls. Giant quest mods with lots of its own tactical challenges, NPC's, spells, weapons and a great role playing storyline. You name it and they got it. Check out the Neverending Journey forum and look at the pinned topics, you will see some installation possibilities. They (NeJ2v6.91 and TS v611) are not compatible with other megamods such as TDD and SoS. The Tortured Souls BP 610 version that you may see discussed over at Spellhold Studios is compatible with their hosted mods (RoT,TDD, SoS, BP), so it can get a little confusing. However, I don't know of planned compatibility of Improved Anvil version 5.0 with NeJ2 and TS. Also, if you install NeJ and TS then you may have to drop some of the other mods/tweaks due to incompatibility or you can take a chance.
