Return to BG2

[Chiz]

Quick question- when I run the restore program, at what point should I install BG2 mods, and should I uninstall all tutu mods? I'm asking since so many mods require a new game to have effect...will all this work?

Uninstall things in the reverse order in which they were installed as a general rule.  Although the Tutu restore program really should handle everything so you don't need to uninstall any Tutu mods.  Just delete WeiDU.log before you start adding BG2 mods.

[idiot mode] Ookay. But when you do the deconverter, as I understand it, it creates a new "tutu conversion" savegame. Which probably won't count as a 'new game' for the purposes of mods that do things like alter worldmaps.

My order of attack goes as follows-
Beat the game in tutu
Delete weidu.log
Run deconverter
Install loads of modzorz (including lots of yours ghrey, if it makes you feel better for me wasting your time)
Run BG2, play at will.

Would it be better to install the BG2 mods after deleting weidu.log (wrecking tutu, probably, but since I'm about to deconvert...)

Normally I'd just try it and see what happens, but I can see it being very tricky to go back to square 1 if it all messes up.

You can export characters from saved games, though, can't you?  So export the characters from your Tutu-final-conversion-saved-game-thing into your heavily-modded BG2 game, and you should be good to go.  And yes, install the BG2 mods after deleting weidu.log, since if you delete weidu.log after installing them, you lose all uninstallation info and things will get quite messed up.

Ah. Cunning, I didn't think of that. If I didn't know better, I'd swear you'd done this before.
