okay, as of yesterday, i had the following mods and patches installed and there were no problems:

baldurdash fixpack
bioware soa patch
tsujatha npc
yasraena npc
kelsey npc
kivan npc
g3 anniversary
banter pack
crossmod banter pack
dungeon be gone
hell trials
flirt pack
unfinished business
potion quest

just now, i installed:
bioware tob patch
ease of use

and suddenly, everytime i click on either kelsey or yasraena (tsujatha isn't in the party yet), the stats for the 4th head of the flail of ages comes out, and some dialogue which sarevok says in tob... what's going on? are some of these mods incompatible?

Installing the patch over a modded game will fubar all the text.

ack. so.. does that mean i have to uninstall the game, reinstall the game, install the patches and then install the mods?

Ideally, yes...

Though it might be ok if you uninstall the mods, then reinstall the patch, then install the mods. i.e. you may be able to get away without having to reinstall the main game.

Having installed the patch when you did, though, means your saves games will likely still be messed up.

ack. its not so bad, i havent really done much aside from the circus and mencar and his gang anyway...

on a side note, do any of you know what BG game-be-gone mod does? i read the features and summary on the site, but I didn't really understand what it's supposed to do...

Game-Be-Gone is a joke mod that skips the game for you. I wouldn't recommend it if you actually feel like playing. ;)

hehe okay, thanks cam
