I loving suck at these huge open world mod-friendly RPG games, I keep spending literally weeks researching what mods to get and how to install them all and how to avoid conflicts etc etc, and by the time I actually run the drat game I'm already burned out and never make it too far. This has happened with Oblivion, Fallout NV and BG1/2 :(

Having said that, I still really enjoy the idea of getting to explore these giant worlds, and keep telling myself that I'll get around to it someday, someday.

I've got a text file at home with my preferred mods and install order for BG 1 and 2, with input from the general BG thread so I can post that tonight for people who want a few more options to play with, but it's pretty similar to the mod list from the OP. It also mentions there's no good mods for Planescape but there are some recommended mods to get it running well on modern systems. It's super simple compared to the encyclopedia of BG mod options, pretty much just follow this guide from the GoG forums.

Honestly, don't play these games with mods. It's not like a Bethesda game where the game sucks and comes with cool modding tools - these are great games with shoddy modding tools and mods that don't add anything but flavor. Get an unofficial patch but ignore every other mod because the games weren't designed around them. Install mods for a second playthrough if you want something different.
