help with install order?

in BGII:EE Mods
hey guys.

I could use some help with install order, as I am honestly not great at this sort of thing and couldn't figure out Project Infinity. Like, is Reunion a story mod or an NPC mod? What about Romantic Encounters? Is it a quest mod? I'm clueless. I'm gonna list the mods I'd like to use alphabetically because I don't have a better idea, so if anyone who's just memorized all this stuff can lend a hand I'd be very appreciative.
  • All Things Mazzy
  • Ascension
  • BG2 Fix Pack (I know it's unnecessary for the EE but there's some optional stuff I like)
  • Tweaks Anthology
  • de'Arnise Romance
  • Haer'Dalis Romance
  • Imoen Romance
  • IWDification
  • Romantic Encounters
  • Reunion
  • Skitia BG2 Romance Tweaks
  • SCS
  • Unfinished Business

All I really know is that SCS goes last and All Things Mazzy goes even more last.

    BG2 Fixpack optionals, Ascension, UB, Reunion, Romance Packs (and maybe Skitia Romance Tweak, notsure on this one), All Things Mazzy (I meant it as last romance/quest/NPC mod), IWDification, Tweaks, SCS (these last two can be flipped here, but I prefer this order myself).

    Mod installation order is tricky. Here is the one I will use for my next playthrough:

    - Ascension # 40, Testing this since October 2023. Must come before wheels of prophecy.
    - BridgesBlock # 02
    - Tales_of_the_Deep_Gardens # 03
    - The_White_Queen # 04, should come after Tales of the Deep Garden.
    - The_Dreadful_Tales_In_Love_Undeath # 05
    - The_Dreadful_Tales_Juniper_and_the_Stone_Leech # 06
    - Innershade # 07
    - The_Sellswords # 08
    - Tower_of_Deception # 09
    - Skitia - NPCs # 10
    - Every_mod_and_dog # 11

    - lucy - the - wyvern # 19
    - navarra # 20
    - Eilistraee # 21
    - Fishing_for_Trouble # 22
    - GolemConstruction # 23
    - Reunion_mod # 24
    - Sirene - NPC # 25
    - Alabaster_Sands # 26
    - Tales_of_Anegh # 28, for chapter 6 and beyond
    - Ascalons - questpack # 29
    - Isra_NPC # 30
    - Ariena # 31, another NPC
    - The_journey_to_the_Whin_Hill # 32
    - Pai - Na - NPC - mod - for - BG2 - EE - 1.8a # 33, another NPC mod
    - willowisp # 34
    - Dusk_Aldant # 35, may be better to install it fairly late.
    - Drizzt - RoTerror - EE # 36
    - Skie_the_cost_of_one_girl - 5.2 # 37
    - Fade_v5.6 # 38
    - Wings - 1.05 # 39, wings mod for aerie
    - Unfinished_Business # 41; Should come late, but before cliffkey. Contains Artemis Entreri and the kidnapping of Boo.
    - Unofficial_Item_Pack # 44, a great mod.
    - Quest_Pack # 43 Should come after "Unfinished Business".
    - sod2bg2_iu - v2.0.6 # 42; should come late
    - ItemUpgrade # 47
    - Made_in_Heaven_mod # 45
    - Homeward_Bound # 46
    - heart_of_the_wood # 48, an item
    - forgotten - armament # 47
    - jans - alchemy # 47
    - Walahnan_BG2 - v1.00 # 48
    - saradas - magic - for - BG2 # 49, a new NPC
    - Mystigan # 51, a NPC
    - Check_the_Bodies # 52; also installs the Saerk Farrahd's banquet invitation. This one crashed the game in September 2023, so I moved this mod downwards.
    - I_Shall_Never_Forget # 54, by Lava, should come late as it adds new areas
    - wheels # 53, Wheels of Prophecy
    - Skip_Chateau_Irenicus # 50; should come late
    - Lhannd # 55, a NPC but it also installs new areas.
    - Tactics_Remix # 56
    - Tweaks_Anthology # 57; should come last
    - worldmap - mod - v12.0.0 # 58 or this should come last ...


    Not guaranteed that this will work, and some mods not on the list above I skipped,
    but it can be helpful for people totally new. Have a look at your own installation
    order; some of this is probably a good advice nonetheless such as worldmap mod
    being installed last, tactics remix being installed at a late time too and so forth. It
    depends on what mods you use. Some mods never cause issues, others do.

    (Ignore the number in the above next to the '#' comments. This is just me commenting
    and re-shuffling order. This is from a .yml file actually and I use it via ruby
    scripts to re-package things automatically to test it. Hopefully I will be
    able to replace weidu one day, because weidu keeps on annoying me
    to no ends. It was probably written back when dinosaur still roamed
    the lands ...)
