hey, i have some questions for the experienced players / modders:

do you think an EET installation with project infinity as a modmanager and the actual available EET mod hotfixes here in forum is still safe to use with the latest patch 2.6.5 of BG complete saga or should i better wait for mod / guide updates?

i would use this an reference install order (big thx to @Cahir for making this guide): https://www.gibberlings3.net/forums/topic/31281-cahirs-eet-epic-run-mod-order-help-request/

which mods should i better leave out? or maybe there you know an more actual guide / install order? i don't mind to have a "minimal" EET installation only with the most essential mods & tweaks. i really would like to give this a try if no potentially major bugs would occur probably during the game.

and lastly: which (likely 2.6.5 compatible) mods could you recommend that spice up the challenge beside SCS?

    here is what i have found out so far regarding 2.6.5 compatibility:
    - i red that spell mods could cause problems with the latest patch as it changes spell-related files
    - there are hotfixes for ETT, SCS, Ascension and Rouge Balancing (see here)
    - i think that minor quest and NPC-related mods are the savest mods to install in the list

    if you have suggestions what i should add/remove please let me know. in preparation for the install i have made a more detailed list where i also put in links to the original mod source and compatibility fixes i found in forums. i also put in some new mods suggested by Cahir. you can use and comment in it it as you like. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hDdu9m6mSjjfK9R0NJfye9aC2vygI3yAXT6yGi7atBQ/edit#gid=1297099886
