Whenever you install the mod that add any new areas (Eilistraee's Song, Southern Edge, Tangled Oak Isle and some other) you should start a new game.

Noted.

Also remember about the best install order It's described in this thread:
https://www.gibberlings3.net/forums/topi...ying-mods/

Haven't had any install order issues for a longtime... that I'm aware of anyway, but thanks.

You may also try using a code after talking to Elhan: C:MoveToArea("ARES01") will take you there, but I can't assure everything will go smoothly. You'd need to check it yourself. There are many variables Here's info on how to use codes: https://gibberlings3.github.io/iesdp/app...a/bgee.htm

Haven't used the CLUAconsole since I got the game... when it first came out.  It's a (silly) point of pride that after 23 years,  I never do.  I'd rather do a re-start than use it.  Goofy, I know...

Cheers! Hope you'll get to the clearing during your next run

Thanks, I'm sure it will all work out for my next play-through. I have a bunch of saved starts [a dozen or so, so I can avoid playing the opening chapter for the zillionth time...] from just after I get out of the madman's dungeon... but I guess I won't be using any of those now. [I'm aware of the "Dungeon be gone" mod to skip chapter one, but it just doesn't appeal to me.] More goofiness!
