Compatibility, to other mods Options

[Seewead]

O.k. - this thread shall be dedicated to the compatibility of the rjali-mod with other mods.

@Nullset: As a start, I have been thinking, it could be of great interest for everybody, if you would tell us which other mods you yourself have used over the time with your mod. Because I figure, these must probably be quite safe, shouldn't they?

So I found this:

2) - Don't know about the Imoen and Viconia Friendship mods. As they aren't romance mods, however, why would you want them in conjunction with Rjali?
- I am running my tests with Flirtpack 1.03 installed, so that is alright. (Mind you, I added flirts for Neera to that one for my own use. They are based heavily on Aerie, and I just don't feel right distributing that.)
- Don't know about NPC Strongholds. Let me know if it causes you issues, and I'll see what I can do.
- The banter packs and RE should be OK. I haven't used them because I have quite enough romance to be going on with. Especially with v6.0.

So here comes my question, Sir: Are there any other mods you use (besides the flirt pack)? Or, vice versa, is there any mod out there, whose combination with rjali should be tested cautiously?

Mind you, of course I know, that you could not and will not give garanties in any form for the compatibility for a specific mod. Nobody is expecting you to. But it would be nice to give us some hints at least. I am sure this is an important aspect for all of your readers and followers. Nobody likes to find out on his own (the hard way), once the story already has unfolded and a restart means anguish and frustration.

Thanks a lot, Seewead





Here comes my edit of this post, because I figure: It would be great to have a list of all compatible mods right in the first opening of this thread. So here I tell you about my experience with compatibilty so far.

A.
Mind you, I always install via BWS. Works more than great for me; not only because of the convenience, but also because of all the patches and bug-fixes you get automatically - on the fly - during the installation process. All the following mods have been patched and corrected by the programmes that come along with the aforementioned BWS. Therefore I can't really tell you, if the mods work as flawlessly, should you install them yourself manually without BWS (and the incorportated patches).

B.
Also please keep in mind, that the order and sequence of the mods is crucial in many cases. Don't stray from the path!

C.
Also I would like to urge you to install all mods in english language only, no matter what. Go for foreign language translations only, if you have secured that these truly work with the new file format that was brought to us by the Enhanced Editions! Most of the time it does NOT.

D.
In my following list of tested mods I did not include the various romance mods that are adressed by the RJali mod. Naturally they are compatible as well, of course.
