Hi, I was wondering if you could add a component to this mod similar to that of the "Send Bioware NPCs to an Inn" component of Tweaks Anthology? It is annoying to have to go back to e.g. Nashkel to pick up Rasaad every time, I have grown used to the utility of sending NPCs where I want them :P

I think it would be a better idea to expand the existing "Send Bioware NPCs to an Inn" component of Tweaks Anthology to also deal with Beamdog NPCs. It's less error prone because the code base is already implemented, and it reduces potential mod conflicts if that feature is only provided by one mod.
Preparing quite an heavy EET install. Where to place this mod in the installorder ? Could i eventually put it right at the end of the loard order to access to the mod during the playthrough ?

Unfortunately I can't help you much in this regard. The mod's readme contains some general notes about mod compatibility. There are a couple of topics related to mod order over at the G3 forums. Maybe they can help you find the right order.
Would be nice if the new EE companions would trigger their quests without being in the party. Seems a shame to have all this new content but never to see it unless you dedicate to having them as a full time slot until it triggered. Could be fun if they spawned in BG after you cleared the bandits in certain maps to simulate them searching for you (only if you had the initial encounter with them)

That's actually the case for many Bioware NPCs as well. It depends very much on how involved the character is in their personal quests. From what I can see, all EE NPCs are too closely involved in their personal quests to leave them out.
I included this mod for my current BG:EE playthrough and chose to disable Dorn and Neera and make Rasaad passive. I am enjoying this very much. Thank you for creating this mod!
hey @argent77 so I've noticed that the component "Make NPC-specific items available for everyone" doesn't actually move all the EE items. for example in BG2 the "Wooden Horse Necklace"(OHNAMUL2) is ignored.
is there any reason for not including all the items?

It's an oversight, thanks. It'll be added in the next mod release.

Does this mod cover Wilson the bear? Can I disable him too? Didn't see anything in the components to imply as much. Best I found was that you recruit him in Neera's [who is covered] companion quest, so I'm guessing it's the same deal as Clara and Hexxat [good riddance], but can't confirm otherwise.

There is little reason to disable Wilson. He was added as an easter egg NPC and is therefore rather difficult to find and recruit. He is already passive and disabling him wouldn't really change anything, since he doesn't come with NPC-specific gear (afaik) that could be made available for everyone.

Oh this is exciting! I always wanted this mod to include all of the EENPC items but never thought to ask you about it!
PS. For what it's worth, some of these items should probably go into either Ribald's Special Wares or Throne of Bhaal as they are very powerful (the Visage comes to mind).

This and several more NPC-specific items will become available in the next mod release (including the Visage).
The stoneskin scroll which is dropped by: https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Ekandor
How do we get access to that if we disable all the EE-NPCs? It's one of only two stoneskin scrolls in BGEE.

It isn't available yet.
However, it will become available along with several more items from EE NPCs in the next mod release.
Added several more NPC-specific items to the list for "Make NPC-specific items available for everyone":
Dorn: Rancor +1, Fallorain's Plate, Wand of Glitterdust, Plate of the Dark +1
Hexxat: Periapt of Life Protection, Shortbow +3
Neera: Rugged Leathers +2, a scroll of Stoneskin, The Grave Binder +2, Dagger of Venom +2, Charname's Tankard, Wooden Horse Necklace, Robe of the Neutral Archmagi, Kazrah's Shield +4, The Cloak of the Lich
Added component labels for Project Infinity
Fixed Baeloth's SoD plot scripting after a class/kit change: Prevents Baeloth from being killed in his introduction cutscene
I have a question for SoD - I found a feather near the red mage, that I discovered belongs to Neera's quest.
Also there is still Rasaad in the camp; is it intended that this SoD content appears even if I have the
~A7-CONVENIENTEENPCS/A7-CONVENIENTEENPCS.TP2~ #0 #1 // Modify Enhanced Edition NPCs -> Disable all NPCs: v4.3
option installed?
I don't care about Rasaad, because strangely enough he is passive in the camp, so it's okay for me.
I'm just curious. By the way, I haven't met Neera anywhere.

Yes, that's intended. The new Beamdog NPCs are much more tightly integrated in SoD, which would have it made more difficult to remove them without rewriting parts of the story or causing conflicts with other mods.
Neera should be present as well if you visit the Bridgefort Keep interior. However, it could be that she doesn't appear if you killed her in BG1.
Question; would it be possible to add Caelar Argent to the List of NPCs, to let Players change her class and/or keep her from joining the Party in the final fight?
Changing her to Paladin, Inquitior or something like that comes to my mind, just for the fun of it. And I can imagine Players don't want her to join, especially for solo games.

The mod focuses mostly on the Beamdog NPCs in BGEE and BG2EE. But these are certainly features that would fit nicely into the mod. I'll see what I can do.
Do you think it will work together with your mod? Or will it overwrite the shops?
1) The new item locations are listed in the mod's readme. Adoy's Belt is available in the Feldepost's Inn of Beregost.
2) I haven't used that mod. However, it's unlikely that there will be issues since the items are relocated traditionally at install time. There is no functional difference between items from this mod and vanilla game items in that regard.

Thanks for realizing my proposal.
I'll test ASAP. Looking foreward to try Caelar with Artisans Divine Champion Kit...
Make sure to read the note in the readme because there are some technical restrictions associated with Caelar's class/kit change.
1) Where can I find Adoy's belt, if I move it to shops?
2) I'm planning to use this mod: https://github.com/BGforgeNet/bg2-tweaks-and-tricks/blob/master/docs/stores.md
It has a component called "Cleanup stores
Remove various items polluting the stores. Store interface only displays 4 items at a time, and scrolling quickly gets annoying."
Do you think it will work together with your mod? Or will it overwrite the shops?
