Installing and uninstalling G3 Tweak Pack components during an ongoing game.

Hello,
Some time ago i asked about installation SCS during an ongoing BG2 game. The respond was like it is possible, but just to be save i was recomended to make backups for my game folder and save's folder.
I have also some G3 Tweak Pack components for BG2 installed, including Viconia skin colour change. Lately i joined her into my team, but i find the new colour just awfull.
So my question now is: is it save to run the tweak pack weidu setup, uninstall the skin color change component, without the fear that something will mess up or i need to make backups for this also?

Well, looks like i need to do backups here , even it seems to be a minor change...
btw: if things go screwy, should i unistall the game, or just delete the folder with it? is there any diference ?
tbh i've installed this component only becouse i read somewhere that it can be easly uninstalled...
What happened next was a bit weird for me: the component was uninstalled together with widescreen mod, and then every component of the tweak pack i already had installed before was automaticaly uninstaled and immediately installed again.
My questions now are: why this happened?
Was the skin change component really so big/important that it affected all the rest of the components and widescreen, so it forced them to reinstall or something?
here is the weidu log

Well, just for a test, i've run the setup again, instaled the viconia skin component again, closed, rerun setup and i've unistalled it same way i did before, but now only the viconia component was uninstalled and it did not force to reinstall anything else.
So it bother's me, if the reinstall thing is a normal weidu proces, why it looks like this now?

What matters for me: will those re-installed components (1st weidu log) work properly in the ongoing game i was into? I mean i've already checked: the skin component is gone(no more smurf.yay!); boo squek, spell animations and components like this that i was able to fast-check seems to work like they did before.
My point is: was the process safe? I mean: most of the reinstalled stuff seems to be cosmetical details, like graphics animations etc.,
But will those reinstalled components like More Interjections or ToB-Style NPCs work like they did before?
oft: a small oftopic question: i've bought the EE edition, but before i start i want to end this playthrought.
Will the EE also need these mods (fixpack, ub, tweak pack) or are they included? I gues they are not, so the installation order and process etc. is the same as with the vanilla ?
At least it is how i understand it ;p You mean: all mods in general have a small chance they wont work, or only those like SCS and biffing mods?
And if they wont work, will there be any notification in setup or weidu log? Error report or sth like that?
I have no idea what those biffing mods are, probably ive never seen any of those, but nevermind.
btw thanks subtledoctor , you are very helpfull
