After comparing SoA-only and ToB installations of Tutu for quite a while, I decided it would be prohibitively difficult to handle both with a single distribution (unless I bundled a compressed copy of each OVERRIDE folder in one distribution, which would have resulted in much wasted bandwidth at download time). So, I have created (and successfully tested) a SoA-only distribution to go with the ToB distribution.
I finished my testing by recreating my own "live" Tutu installation using the ToB distribution. I then installed all of the Tutu mods I like to play with. Everything works great, and my save games from my game in progress loaded just fine.
If anyone is interested in evaluating and/or hosting these distributions, let me know. Again, installing them is the functional equivalent of installing Tutu4 + Tutufix v15 core bug fixes only, with the Friendly Arm Nobleman and Wand of the Heavens fixes included. If, after installation, you are interested in installing some of the Tutufix tweaks, do not install the core bug fixes -- you have them already. Also, your main BG2 installation will be untouched, and you are free to uninstall BG1 once the setup has been completed.
