Getting Tweaks Fixes and Cheats mod is helpful when you're trying to maximize your runs, you can change things like gender/race/alignment blocks and make multiple concurrent romances possible. Of course, back in the day I would just cheat in a stack of remove curse scrolls and the belt of masculinity/femininity, and cobble it together like that.
These days I play BG on my iPad, which I love as I can just lounge around wherever. Which I guess I can with my laptop as well, but the iPad is comfier. But that does mean no mods ... I think. I have read somewhere that it is possible to mod the iOS version of the game if you have BG on a PC as well, but I've never got round to trying this. And I've only got "normal" pre-EE BG for my PC and I don't know if that makes a difference. I guess I could just buy EE for PC as well, but I've already bought the games at least four times over the years and I'm balking at a fifth! Perhaps I'll get round to experimenting one of these days, I definitely want to try to get the KotOR2 restored content mod on my iPad so if there's a similar process then that might help.
But my next run will just be vanilla BG. Well, vanilla BG EE anyway.
