Help with Mods
   

1.Ok since I want to replay Baldur's Gate with a mage now is there any mode that will change my adventure a little bit so It won't be repetitive???
2.Since I have chosen my mage and Completed all the Candlekeep quest can I install that Mod without needing to Remake or Start the game again???

I doubt that any such mods exist for original BG, however:

1. If you have Tales of the Sword Coast expansion it will add several new details to the original 5-cd gameplay (such as new hidden treasures, new weapons etc.) - that is besides you'll get the whole new adventure for your high-level heroes. In turn, for the TotSC there is at least one another expansion - Dark Side of the Sword Coast - which is also nice and interesting.

2. Game will not be very repetitive (at least not in the beginning) if you're playing a different character (mage instead of fighter). Try changing allignment radically to get even more changes in gameplay. It's not to say that you have to kill everyone if you're playing with evil party, but just try to be evil enough, ok? OR - if your Gothic self already made you play an evil character try being good and warm and fuzzy instead: go for every noble quest you can find.

3. Although it may spoil some fun I'd suggest that if you're playing 2nd time, you go ahead and find some good walkthrough. I doubt that you've explored each and every corner of the Sword Coast first time. Try your best now, refer to walkthrough from time to time just to make sure you doing everything you can. Try not to read it through, though. It's not fair

Thanks but I think I'll need to remake My mage after installing the Dark side of the sword coast. Is there a way in which I can install DSotSC and Load My mage saved game and still coul reach the expansion new areas?

Sorry, never actually tried it. Last time I started to play BG with TotSC already installed.

However, and this may be a good news, I know for sure that if you install Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter expansion after playing for a while in the original Icewind Dale, there is no problems with benefiting from the new features after simply loading your game. So it might as well be so with TotSC... I guess you just have to try it for yourself. And then tell us about the results

So I'll be the monkey of the experiment
EDIT: Nope you have to start the game again to see the new features of the Dark side of the sword coast. Yeah I'm Worthy.

Cool!

Now we see the light of the truth! Thanx, Gothic Soul!

I guess it's not working like in Icewind Dale simply because BG add-on was released two years earlier. Technology progress...
