So, i converted all mods (Basket Full of Equipment, and all of my own mods) into loose files.
Not a single PAK mod remains, and i got rid of the mod fixer (not using BG3SE either).

Thanks to the Larian's recent little update P6H8 (Hotfix #24), i could immediately put my hypothesis to test, and the results were exactly as i expected.

After updating the game, i loaded and old save, and...
- cool2 all mods work perfectly fine
- cool2 no dialogue history reset


That said... I am still waiting for a true test when a major Patch drops.
P6H8 (Hotfix #24) was just a tiny little update barely containing any game data, so i cannot yet rule out that this affected how the game treated my old saves.
MAYBE the game didn't even need to "recompile story" for this little patch, while some big major patch could still need it regardless of anything.
Can anybody using PAK mods alongside a "mod fixer" let me know, please, whether their game did "recompile story" after updating from Hotfix #23 to Hotfix #24?
