Does it matter which components from SCS & SCSII do i use on my Baldur's Gate Trilogy installation?
For example if I install Faster Bears from SCS, do I also need to install Faster Bears from SCSII or does one affect the whole game?

Same goes for Spell tweaks that are the same in both modifications ( like "More consistent Breach spell" or "Antimagic attacks penetrate improved invisibility"), Remove Arrows of Dispelling from stores (does this modification from SCSII also remove the arrows from BG1?), Ease-of-use party AI, Remove blur effect from the displacer cloak, Improved Spiders, Smarter mages...

OK, my main question is:
Do i need to install Smarter Mages from SCS if I allready have the SCSII version?

IIRC, DavidW said that Smarter Mages (and/or priests) can be installed on BGT in two different ways:

1) You install SCS Smarter Mages (and/or priests) and then you install SCS II Smarter Mages (and/or priests): in this way mages and priests use different AI routines in the BG1 and BG2 part of the trilogy

2) You install only SCS II Smarter Mages (and/or priests): in this way mages and priests use the SCS II AI routine from beginning to end

What Salk said. (With the proviso that SCSII's effects on the BG1 part of BGT are not something I test extensively.)
