    I would install the Ease of use and BG2 Tweaks first, though I think they both share similar components. I would probably install the Divine remix after that then the rest should be installed in any order (though I know some one will flame me for saying that)

    A suggestion if you playing as a wild mage is the wild mage additions. That is by far my favourite mod.

    Ease of Use is deprecated; it's wholly contained in BG2 Tweaks. Tweaks should also go last in the process, as many of its changes affect content from other mods. I.e. the Remove Helmet Animations component will not remove the animations from helmets installed by mods unless those mods are installed before Tweaks.

    edited, thanks pro55

    You mean before BG2 Tweaks, right? ;)

    Check the Bodies should be installed early, also make sure you're using latest weidu version (v1.8).

    BG2 Tweaks should be last, not first. Ease-of-Use isn't needed if you're going to use BG2 Tweaks, as BG2 Tweaks already contains everything in Ease-of-Use. Ascension should probably also be early in the order; Divine Remix should be late (and definitely after the NPC mods). Otherwise I think it's fairly arbitrary, but be sure to check the readmes of the individual mods in case they have advice on install order.

    I would start with the BG2 fixpack...Please add that to your list.

    Then

    CTB (dont forget the XP patch)
    Ascession (if your going to add this then why not also add longer road or redemption as well?)
    Quest Pack (workaround needed for hell trials)
    Unfinished Business (leave out restore minor dialogue unless you don't mind workarounds)

    NPC mods starting with Kelsey and Kelsey Tob

    BG2 tweaks
    Dungeon begone (a little buggy careful)
    DR
    sword and fist
    song and silence


    thats how I would go

    Well, I would highly reccomend Improved Anvil, it adds a lot of new features, elements, challenges, items, quests etc. to the game, BUT it is incompatible with some components from Tactics/Improved Battles/Ascension/Quest Pack, and G3 tweak packs, so I think you should save it for your next installation/run of BG2. Hopefully, cool beyond words V.4 will be released by that time! :)

    Keto is also a very well done NPC mod, it does not have ToB content AFAIK but the beauty and depth of SoA content makes for it. :thumb:

    Nathaniel and Chloe are the NPCs for, 'alternative' romances.

    Rogues Rebalancing also rebalances thief/bard kits, add new kits, and really beefs up Shadow Thieves, if you dare to side with Bodhi when the time comes. I like the mod!

    Blucher's Improved Thief Stronghold adds new and more filling quests and options to Thieve's Stronghold, and makes the return of some old friends from the city Baldur's Gate!

    Herbs&Potions is a harmless little mod which adds a nice and convenient shop for exotic materials and all kinds of potions. You can even try to enchant a few items. Unlike other shop mods, I can say it is rather balanced and does not feel out of place.

    How can you forget the Boards of Magic Item Pack shop mod? It has the items custom-created by the very members of BoM! And you have a chance to speak with (even fight, if you dare!) the mighty Taluntain! :)
