I FINALLY DID IT!

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious mod that I had in my store—
While I judged which were appealing, suddenly there came a feeling,
'Twas my OCD revealing, which I first tried to ignore,
But alas 'twas too strong, oh no! Too strong for me to ignore—
'Twas just the start, there was more!
Ah, distinctly I remember that I had to surrender,
And sacrifice my dear slumber, even though my back was sore.
Some modding tips I must borrow,— so I thought I'd shoot an arrow,
And get a guide that was thorough— thus my friend I did implore,
"How do I install all these mods?" I asked @ThacoBell next door—
"I am so very unsure!"
@ThacoBell then immediately, gave me a list quite happily,
A list he knew whole-heartedly, and I knew that he was sure.
So I looked upon it eyeing, all the details underlying,
As my mind went on defying, all the logic I'd conjure,
"It's all so complicated, all this hassle I can't endure!"
So I began to explore.
So I went to the internet, as my forehead grew beads of sweat,
However I wasn't done yet, because I must find a cure!
My OCD was now looming, like a void ever-consuming,
I knew that it was my dooming, something I had to procure,
Something that could make installing mods to not be such a chore,
It is always such a bore!
And then I found a forum thread, "Project Infinity" it said,
It made me quite interested, so I looked into it more.
It was a mod management tool, and looking at it made me drool,
"A GUI?! Now that is cool!" I did not feel sad anymore—
I was filled with great joy and my sanity seemed to restore—
I'll be obliged forevermore!
So I downloaded it right then, for my search hadn't gone in vain,
And only a minute passed when, it was downloaded and secure.
And so my mods I extracted, to a folder copy-pasted,
Having done that I now hasted, to start the .exe that it bore,
The wondrous .exe that would surely solve all my modding chore—
I no longer felt so sore.
So the boxes I selected, of the components I wanted,
And all things went as expected, I was glad like never before.
The installation went smoothly, and everything was orderly,
Though SCS took time duly, but 'twas not so bad as before—
Now I could relax without staring at the screen like before,
And this I greatly adore.
The progress bar then went ahead, "SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED" it said,
As swiftly I jumped off my bed, the thud resounding on the floor.
But now I was too exhausted, and I needed to be rested,
But my OCD protested, it said I needed a cure.
So modded BG2 I started, for I could wait no more,
That's my story, what about your?

Long story short, after a long long time, I finally managed to make a satisfactory modded BG2EE install with Ascension, SCS, RR, CDTweaks, some item upgrades and shaman overhauls, portrait mods, and the amazingly awesome Dragonspear UI++. Project Infinity was really helpful in installing that huge modlist, as I could just tick off the components I wanted to install and let Project Infinity install it for me automatically at once, without me having to stare at the WeiDU command line interface waiting when I would have to input an option. Big thanks to @ALIEN for this amazing tool, it's just great! Now I can enjoy modded BG2EE in peace, finally.
My WeiDU log is attached if you would like to see it.
