    This info is taken from the SCS readme and was the clearest I saw install order explained:

    In general, when installing multiple mods, it matters which order you install them in. A rough guide is:

    The (G3) BG2 Fixpack (if applicable, i.e. on non-Enhanced BG2 and BGT)
    GUI mods (on the Enhanced Edition)
    The Ascension mod
    Mods which add new quests and similar game content
    Mods which add new joinable characters
    Mods which change the spell or item systems
    Mods which add new kits or class abilities
    Mods which tweak aspects of gameplay

    Within each category, as a rule of thumb you should install older mods first.

    SCS is a tweak mod, so it should be installed towards the end of your installation. Ideally, SCS prefers to be installed last, but several other recent mods (aTweaks, BiggTweaks, BG2 Tweakpack) also say "install last" in their readmes. You can generally install any of these listed mods after SCS fairly safely. (In particular, aTweaks is designed with SCS specifically in mind, and should definitely be installed after SCS). Other mods, and in particular any mods that add new items, really need to be installed before SCS.

    On more complicated installs, if you are using the Icewind Dale spells components of SCS then you may get better results if you install those two components fairly early on (before kit mods, in particular) and then install the rest of SCS at or near the end of your install order. (An alternative is to use the IWDification mod instead of SCS's version of the Icewind Dale spells.)
