I tried to determine whether a discussion thread about the tweaks anthology mod already exists here or not on the beamdog forum, for BG2EE; I could not find one though. (I could find another thread here, talking about tweaks in general, but not cdtweaks specifically; in case others are interested in regards to that other, older thread, I found it here: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/87473/tweaks-mod-brainstorming-thread when I searched for "beamdog tweaks mod" actually).

The homepage can be found here:

https://www.gibberlings3.net/mods/tweaks/tweaks/

The github link can be found here:

https://github.com/Gibberlings3/Tweaks-Anthology

As one can see, CamDawg is quite active on github, and argent77 also contributes changes to the tweaks anthology mod.

There is a reason why I created this thread here, but it should be a general thread, so I'll comment to it in the next message, to keep this first initial start of the thread somewhat clean, so others can use it more readily too.

    Specifically, the current problem I have is that the cdtweaks mod has a "multiple stronghold" component. This one has a few tiny issues, but by and large I like it because we can do more quests, which is always fun. For instance, the three miniquests in regards to the paladin stronghold; these are simple but fun, but also the stronghold for clerics.

    Unfortunately another mod seems to disable the multiple strongholds part, aka specifically the error message is "This component is incompatible with another mod". As I am not active on the gibberling forums and the github issue tracker of cdtweaks does not allow for issues, I'll simply file it here; but also ask a question.

    First: does anyone happen to know which other mod disables the stronghold components?

    For simplification, here is my current mod list - it is a bit more extensive, so a bit much to read, but on the bright side, others can have a look and perhaps find one or the other mod that they may want to install. The installation order appears to be somewhat ok, but not 100% perfect; I still may need to change a few things. (And I also installed Made In Heaven IP - unfortunately Tactics Remix does not work with it, for reasons explained by morpheus, so next time I'll have to eliminate all MiH modifications, as Tactics Remix is now by far much more important and better, IMO).

    Also, perhaps CamDawg or someone else may read this and could reconsider the issue with regard to multiple strongholds, as I definitely would prefer the cdtweaks option over any other option. Sadly I always have to install cdtweaks last, as I otherwise found that I may run into problems, so I guess for now I have to find out which mods modify strongholds in general.

    TL;DR: Does anyone know which mods modify strongholds in a significant manner for BG2EE? The only two I know of right now is the planar sphere extension mod, and cdtweaks, but I think there may be more than these two.

    Hm
    I took a quick look in TP2 files for instalation of Tweaks Anthology and I do not see any guards from other mods there but I am no expert.

    I would guess that this would be better place to asking this question though

    Could it be that you tried to install both the "Multiple strongholds" and the "Make Individual Strongholds Available" components of cdtweaks at the same time?

    I did this once and was tearing my hair out. I maybe shouldn't admit this because it reveals I am an idiot.
