• This guide’s purpose is provide a recommended sorting order for the mods listed in order to maintain maximum compatibility, as well as categorizing mods in a way that it's relatively easy to tell where to put unlisted mods with similar features. It is NOT required to have ALL or even MOST of these mods in order to follow this guide. It simply exists to help with placement.
  
  
• Should any one person download and use the majority of the mods available for D:OS2 (DE), it should be clarified on this guide which mods have a priority either higher or lower on the order of enabled mods.
  
  
• This guide should be used as a set of guidelines for best practices and organization, as most mods won't conflict in a dramatic way. As long as type grouping, section priority, and requirements are respected, D:OS2 is pretty forgiving.

1. Comment in the comment section of this guide.

If you are an intelligent person that values their time and wants to have a great experience, it is mandatory to have everything here installed and/or setup correctly. Installing mods manually was only necessary before 2019. Now there are tools and utilities that make the game function better with mods (and without). This is mandatory. If you do not have everything in this section installed and setup, do not expect to have an easy time with this guide. You have been advised.

1. Divinity Mod Manager[github.com] :
   ↳ Download[github.com]
   
   Divinity Mod Manager provides a number of useful features for the mod users, such as automated download and install of NSE, copying of new and updated mods from the Workshop folder to the expected Documents folder, and very easy to use profile and load order management. Pretty much everyone using mods should use this as well!
   
   
2. Norbyte's Script Extender[github.com] :
   ↳ Download[github.com]
   
   The Script Extender toolkit adds previously unavailable features to the scripting language of the game. It allows mods to access additional, more advanced functions, can speed up loading times under heavy mod installs, and most importantly: when properly utilized by authors, greatly improves inter-mod compatibility. Many of the more interesting mods these days require it, and there's really no reason not to get it!

1. "Double Asterik" :

   ** Mod Name Here

   • IF YOU WANT THE MOD'S FILES TO "REIGN SUPREME" OVER ANY LIKE-MOD:
     Place mod at the "Bottom" of the load order (just as you would physically see items at the beginning of a list) ------Overwriting any value set by any mod before it.
     
   • TO ALLOW THE MOD'S FILES TO "BEND THE KNEE", TO ALL LIKE-MODS:
     Place mod at the "Top" of the load order (just as you would physically see items at the end of a list) ------to allow overrides from those/other mods.

Known Issues:

1. Organized Containers has been known to cause issues with some armor sets and other miscellaneous items, both vanilla and mod-added. To fix these issues, you MUST download Devourer Fix for Organized Containers - DE and place it after Organized Containers.
   ↳ Larian released their own version in Gift Bag #3 - Improved Organization. However, Larian's version gives you all bags at once and doesn't allow you to drop them, whereas Organized Containers allows you to pick and choose. Each has its advantages and disadvantages!
   
   
2. Organized Containers and Let There Be Tooltips conflict on paintings. The order of these two can be swapped depending on the behavior you're looking for.
   ↳ Organized Containers, then Let There Be Tooltips: paintings won't be sorted into their respective container automatically.
   ↳ Let There Be Tooltips, then Organized Containers: paintings will no longer have world tooltips.

1. These mods are to be placed in the MIDDLE of your load order:
   
   
2. Mods are organized By Sections / Groups, meaning you must have these sections / groups loaded as if they are one Giant mod (You cannot mix mods from different sections or mix mods from different groups — Keep your mods in their respective sections and groups).
   
   
3. You DO NOT need to have every single mod listed in each section / group, only the ones you want.
   
   
4. The mods in each section / group DO NOT need to be in the exact order listed here, just in their respective section / group.

• It is NOT recommended to mix class overhauls for the same class. For instance, if you want to overhaul "Geomancer", you should only use either Odinblade's overhaul or Rykui's overhaul, not both together.

    • Cleric - Shared Resources
      ↳ A library mod used to provide common functionality to other mods.
      ↳ Note: This mod is Required for all the CLERIC mods (this whole group).
    
    

    Important: Do NOT just download the class mods. READ THEIR MOD PAGES. For some classes you MUST ensure that you have specific options enabled in the games option menu, otherwise STUFF WON'T WORK. Don't say I didn't warn you!

  • Vanilla Class Addons:
    
    • Assassin - Lethal Dual Dagger Combatant
      ↳ The Assassin focuses on attack skills that require dual wielding daggers, and progress through combos levels to enable more powerful skills and effects. Aside from attack skills, they have access to mutually exclusive stances, including one that allows other weapons to use dual dagger skills. Finally, Assassins bring finesse-based spellcasting to the table, usable by any finesse build to round out the kits of Archers or Spear-users as well.
      
      
    • Deadeye - The Scoundrel Archer
      ↳ The deadeye is a more deliberate version of the huntsman. Focusing heaving on applying statuses and punishing foes afflicted by them with harsher status effects or more damage. The Deadeye's unique utility lies within it's Malice. Marking a target for death enables them to build their Malice and manifest it as a lethal ranged attack that is stronger with every stage of Malice gained.
      
      
    • [NSE] Warfare Expanded

    • [NSE] Arcane Archer - Slightly Unstable Elemental Archer
      ↳ Arcane Archers are finesse-based bow-users who's weapon skills deal magic damage. Through their fixations, the magic damage can instead be converted or supplemented by a chosen elemental damage type. Not only focused on their innate skills, an Arcane Archer can enchant their Quivers and significantly increase the potency of their crafted arrows, or whip out their Artificer's Tools to replicated many crafted grenades.
      
      
    • [NSE] Arcane Bladeweaver - The Elemental Melee Master
      ↳ Arcane Bladeweavers focus on dealing weapon damage with a twist: Their damage is converted to an elemental damage type based on the first Bladeweaver skill they use in a turn. They Flow between elements each turn and enter a Form depending on which Flows they've used. On top of Flows and Forms, Arcane Bladeweavers also have a resolution, which further affects what their Bladeweaver skills can do. Ultimately they are the master of their skills and effects, able to adapt to any situation on a turn by turn basis.
      
      
    • [NSE] Elementalist - Elemental Magic Expansion
      ↳ A true Elementalist doesn't specialize in specific elements, but chooses to bring the tools to wield them all. Unafraid of a little close combat, the tools include restorative effects, improving armor, movement, and AP management utilities. This mod includes over a dozen skills for each element and another group of skills that require investing in all four elements. With these tools at your disposal, and probably some extra points in memory, the battlefield will be little more than a playground.
      
      
    • [NSE] Guardian - Frontline Spellcasting and Support
      ↳ Guardians are frontlines specializing in Warfare, and use their Strength to cast spells. They provide limited support in healing and armor restoration, but excel at a variety of magics that shield, redirect, or mitigate damage. Guardians are driven by Virtues of Justice, Resolve, and Courage and can utilize them in a variety of ways; more skilled Guardians are able to alter the effects of their virtues, opening up the core of their skillset to a surprising level adaptability.
      
      
    • [NSE] Thaumaturge - The Totem Specialist
      ↳ The Thaumaturge is a conjurer with a wide variety of skills focused specifically on Totems and their manipulation. The Thaumaturge has various tools at it's disposal for improving and manipulating totems. This makes totems an investment and a worthwhile one. What will become apparent is that the Thaumaturge ramps up - the longer a fight, the more they will contribute. Totems were once dispensable cannon fodder, but now they can be the core of a team - whether magic or physical.

• Helaene :
  • New Classes:
    

    Important: Do NOT just download the class mods. READ THEIR MOD PAGES. For some classes you MUST ensure that you have specific options enabled in the games option menu, otherwise STUFF WON'T WORK. Don't say I didn't warn you!

    • Blacksmith
      ↳ The Blacksmith can strike devastating blows with his two-handed hammer and also repair the armor of his friends. Blacksmith skills augment and require Warrior skill. Blacksmiths can serve as tanks while maintaining some support abilities.
      
      
    • Cryomancer
      ↳ The Cryomancer is a master of ice magic, harnessing its frigid power to damage enemies and strengthen themselves, rather than healing like traditional hydromancy.
      
      
    • Marauder
      ↳ As a Marauder, you destroy your enemies with both physical and elemental damage. Skills scale on Finesse, as an extension of the Scoundrel/Rogue tree. You can also summon several powerful types of allied creatures as you progress. If you don't like to mix attributes, use only the skills that pertain to your build - there are plenty to choose from!
      
      
    • Mirage
      ↳ The Mirage is a desert-dwelling mage who can dominate the minds of their enemies with illusions and deception with *38* new skills. They can also harness chaos energy to damage their foes.

Phantasmal weapons (crossbow and greatsword) scale on Intelligence, come with unique skills, and reset to your previously equipped weapon when they expire.
      
      
    • Priest
      ↳ This mod adds a new Priest class which provides flexible support through long-range healing, buffs and some damage. Their holy abilities use light and water to affect their allies and enemies.
      
      
    • Succubus
      ↳ This mod adds 18 new Succubus skills to the game, as well as a starter Succubus class. It is themed around romance, seduction, debuffs and health-stealing. The new skills are tied to the Rogue/Scoundrel ability. They provide a mix of magical and physical damage for flexible gameplay. Skills will scale based on your weapon in some cases. For finesse scaling, please use a dagger, spear or bow/crossbow. I added a few skills which were previously locked to one particular track or race (such as clearing surfaces and wings for skill trees, encouraging for non-humans) for greater storytelling potential. Everything uses a hot pink color for easy identification, including new skillbook textures.
      
      
    • Trickster
      ↳ Tired of being so serious all the time? Want to shake up your gameplay? Tricksters are common across many mythologies, and this class borrows from several. The theme is pranking, transformation and (terrible) puns. This class is tied primarily to the Polymorph ability track. With Tricksters, you have to be careful because they get their fun by harassing allies as well!
      
      
    • Vampire
      ↳ Vampirism skills are tied to both Necromancy and Warrior tracks, and include a wide variety of buffs, debuffs and damage abilities, as well as (of course) health-stealing.

This mod is also very Undead-friendly.
      
      
    • Valkyrie
      ↳ This mod adds a new Valkyrie class which includes 20 new skills. It is themed around the Norse pantheon and a valkyrie's duty as 'chooser of the slain'. They make good support characters, with a mix of buffs and damage, tied primarily to the Warrior ability track.
      
      
    • Wyldfae
      ↳ Wyldfae are members of the Sidhe who are associated with neither the Summer nor Winter Courts. In this rendition, I've chosen to make them affiliated with plants, nature and Earth magic, giving them a Druid-like feel. Abilities of Wyldfae scale on Intelligence. They can summon animal allies, as well as healing and doing earth damage. You can play this class with any race. Unlike the base game geomancy skills, these focus more on earth itself rather than poison or oil.

   Potential Conflicts:

   1. Expanded Random Item Generation :
      
      • "This mod changes the ItemTypes table, so there will probably be conflicts with other mods touching to that. Specifically it seems to have a conflict with Fumihiko's rune slot enabling mod - I might do a compatibility patch someday but meanwhile you'll have to choose between getting boons / curses and having additional rune slots, depending on which one you put last in the mod order. Otherwise, it should be free to go with pretty much anything."

   
   
2. Items :
   • [NSE] BonusUniques ⇀ by "Malchezzar"
     ↳ Adds 28 new Uniques to Act 1, 39 to Act 2, and 47 to Act 3, aimed to compliment various build paths and options throughout your adventure. While this may sound like a lot, I have gone to decent lengths to hide many of them, so you will have to brush off your easter egg hunting skills to find them all. These Uniques will also level with your party once you have reached their base level, allowing you to make use of them for quite a while throughout the game.
     
     
   • Mechanical Arsenal ⇀ by "Pyrolusite"
     ↳ Successor to Pyrolusite's Grenade Skills, this mod currently adds 30 skills to the game, still distributed between Huntsman - offensive physical/elemental grenades - and Scoundrel - utility and crowd control grenades, wind-up toy elemental and smoke variants.
     
     
   • Spellblades & Other Magical Weapons ⇀ by "Tobberon"
