OK, you guys ready for a mental excercise? I want to do this, slightly different or in reverse -- in that I am not starting with a clean install to clone, I'm starting with an already mod'd install that needs to be de-mod'd for Tutu to install. Surely some of you have had this need:
I currently have installed:BG1
TOSC + patch
--
BG2 SOA
BG2 TOB + patch 24698
Baldurdash
--
TDD The Darkest Day mod + 103A patch*
Weidu mods - various; Tactics + EOU + Item Upgrade*
*I realize these are not PP's mods but thanks for your help anyway!
What I want to end up with after doing multi-install:I want to clone my BG2 installation with the mods (let's call this
BG2alt). Then uninstall the BG2 mods from just one of the BG2's (the one still called
BGII-SOA?). Then install BGTutu.
Should I be trying to install Tutu (and remove other mods) from the copy
BG2alt, or from the
BGII-SOA?
The worrisome question is, How can I uninstall my mods from one installation of BG2, and leave them intact on the other? If so, which one to uninstall mods from.
-or- Would it be better for me to completely uninstall the mods, THEN clone, THEN Tutu, then re-install my old BG2 mods on the non-Tutu clone and drop my old mod savegames back in?
- OPTION A: Cloning the mod'd BG2 and leaving it intact somewhere while de-mod'ing the original
- OPTION B: Cloning the mod'd BG2 and de-mod'ing BG2alt as a base for Tutu, leaving original BG2 intact with my mods
- OPTION C: Uninstalling mods or whole game, cloning a clean copy for Tutu, then reinstalling mods on the clone
I want to be able to play either (1) BGTutu, or (2) BG2mygame with my old mods intact.
I have read CamDawg's guide, and it recommends
"This is best done on a new installation before mods." but for me, it's too late for that.
