Greywolf1: Thanks - makes sense. There were two reasons for asking: Steam doesn't have this patch (which could mean that it's a GOG-only patch indeed), and I wondered about mod compatibility (which you say isn't an issue).
Yea I assumed its the mods you are worried because I also was. I used some of the well known mods - the Tweaks Anthology, EEUITweaks, Talents of Faerun, Klatu Tweaks and even SCS for BG1(plus one old portraits mod) - they all worked. Have fun!
