Do I have to restart?

Hi guys, I have a short question:

I just installed several mods to my BG2:EE (i.e. SCS, aTweks) - how do I know for what changes I have to start a new game for and which changes also affect existing savegames?
As I see this most changes also affect existing games but I read that for some changes to work I have to start a new game. How do I know which these are? Is there a rule of thumb?

Some changes affect the lategame and I don't want to notice that I should have restarted when I'm already in the underdark.

    A lot of mods work fairly well even when installed mid-game. Still, you might encounter various glitches and it can't be guaranteed that everything will work as intended, so the safest bet is obviously to restart.

    Must-restart mods tend to be the ones that alter things that you've already encountered in your saved game. It's also often described in the mod readme.
