    I've only recently started playing BG2 again and really discovered the fun of modding my game. Only problem is, I have added some mods without starting a new game and without regarding any installation order. So now I'm noticing differences between my first runthrough from about a month ago and my current run. Some quests that triggered in chapter 6 the first time don't the second time and I have also encountered a bug like experience in the main story line (the door inside bodhi's lair didn't open and gave a message to kill all the vampires to open it, so I searched the entire area, didn't find a single living vampire and had to reload my autosave).

    So now my question is how do I return to a clean install? I forgot to backup the dialog.tlk and other files I've seen mentioned in readme's so does this mean I have to uninstall and reinstall the whole game or can I download those clean files from somewhere?

    And after I've returned to a clean install does it matter in which order I install my mods? Here's a list of what I'm planning to install:
    Ease of Use
    Unfinished Bussiness
    Quest Pack
    Dungeon Crawl
    Banter Pack
    Assassinations v1 (recent pocketplane release)
    Item upgrade
    Tower of Deception
    CoM Encounters
    RTT item pack
    NPCs: Kelsey, Amber, Kivan, Tashia

    Ah thanks, that should really help in cleaning up my game. Any pointers on mod install order, or does it simply not matter because they're all weidu mods?

    Pocket Planes has an installation order post on their forums IIRC. Very in-depth and helpful.
