A7-SkipChateauIrenicus VS EET_Tweaks

Re: recs, I'm gonna be lazy and link this thread I made - the stuff that adds banters/friendships is near the top, and item mods are a bit further down, though you've got most of the ones I'd recommend. And Skip Chateau Irenicus is the DBG-equivalent I use.

As for the install order itself - are you running BG2 original flavor, or EE? Because I would recommend using this version of dungeon be gone instead (though I think it's actually compatible with the original game anyway).

Skip Chateau Irenicus: EE equivalent of the old Dungeon-Be-Gone mod. Optionally teleports all recruitable characters to the surface, and is compatible with mod NPCs.

And yep, there's a mod for that: Skip Chateau Irenicus

hey, do you still want dungeon be gone? I don't think it was ever updated for EE, but there's a modern skip Chateau Irenicus with a mac version

EET Tweaks: despite the name, compatible with non-EET games as well. Its XP caps and XP reductions (for quests, killing monsters, and lockpicking/spell-learning) are useful if you’re running a lot of quest mods: as overleveling can kill any semblance of challenge, reducing XP gain to something more sensible makes for a better experience. Also features “consistent NPC appearance” options for those appearing in more than one game (including for cameo NPCs). Components that some may consider slightly cheesy: “PnP spell scroll caster levels,” “disable hostile reaction after charm,” “import party items to SoA.” Also offers convenience tweaks such as a key ring and wand case.

I'm trying to use a mod to remove the level cap in BG1EE. I ran across https://github.com/K4thos/EET_Tweaks/releases/tag/v1.12 I'm not sure if it's current.

EET Tweaks - https://github.com/K4thos/EET_Tweaks/releases/tag/v1.12 - offers components for this. These component tweaks work on all games and do not require EET.
