  You have the categories in the correc order. Quest, Npc, item and spell, then tweak mods. I'm not familiar with UI mods, so I can't help you there.
  
  There is some specific mods where the order is extra important but I can help with a few of those.
  
  For the kit mods, you want Faiths and Powers, Monastic Orders, and MIght and Guile to be the last three kit mods you install, in that order. Spell revisions has some comaptibility issues with FnP and MnG, so you might want to ask about that in one of those threads. With FnP, you won't need the spells from IDWification.
  
  Atweaks needs to be your last tweak mod install. I'm not familiar with Klatu tweaks.

  Dragonspear UI++ before EEUITweaks (as EEUITweaks will detect Dragonspear UI++ and will only propose components that are compatible with it). Otherwise you should be able to install them pretty much when you want as they should not interact with any other mod.
  
  The Picture Standard for BGEE 1 & 2 probably close to the end as it change portraits of some of the mods (BG1NPC, RR, ...).
  Portraits Portraits Everywhere also close to the end and may overlap with The Picture Standard so the one you install last may overwrite some of the portraits of the other.

  My approach: What mods can you bear to see screwed up the least? - install those last.

  @ChaosRonin, I have my mod install where the User Interface section is last (with the EEUITweaks last of all). Reasoning: these would be the only mods that I would change (if updates were required) mid game and it seems to impact least, if at all, on other mods.
  
  Also, I note that you have 'Tweaks Anthology BETA'. Unless there is a specific reason, the latest is Tweaks Anthology v4.

  @lefreut so, assuming I would like to achieve following goals (in that order of preference):
  - Have all portraits from Artaport mod
  - Have additional portraits from Portraits Portraits Everywhere mod for all other NPC's, not covered by Artaport
  - Have high resolution portraits from the Picture Standard.
  
  The goal is to have portraits for all NPC's, preferably in the highest resolution possible and with all Arta's portraits.
  
  Should installation order be as following?:
  - Portraits Portraits Everywhere -> to have all necessery portraits covered
  - The Picture Standard -> the pictures covered by PPE will be changed by PS and the rest will remain untouched
  - Artaport -> portraits for all joinable NPC's and some major non-joinable will be changed, the rest will remain from PPE or PS.
  
  Did I get it right?

  Thanks for all the replies, that clears up a lot of confusion on my part.

  @Cahir yes that should work as you expect.
