Tafferpatcher latest includes 1.25.

I cannot confirm a bug there. When I load that savegame in an english or german version of Thief 2 patched to NewDark v1.25 with TafferPatcher 2.0.18, the robot continues to analyze his situation for just a few seconds, then moves down the ramp and proceeds on his usual patrol route.

yeah, saving and loading unstuck an AI most of the time (that was the issue, right?).

The only problem is, HDmod completely wipes out the skies mod.

So I'm fairly unfamiliar with NewDark, but I set up Thief with TFix Lite and it is perfect. It's exactly what I was looking for -- support for higher resolutions, OpenAL, cutscene playback, without too much modification to the gameplay or the game resources. Is there a "Lite" equivalent for Thief 2? I would have thought installing TafferPatcher with all the settings disabled would get me close, but earlier in this thread it was mentioned that some of the missions have been modified, etc.
What would get me as close as possible to vanilla Thief 2 while still using NewDark?

How is it different than just manually installing New Dark?

should be usable then. I don't think it updates the scripts and other files properly though, see below.

if you mean the GOG T2 package, it
-crops the cutscenes properly
-enables FSAA
-enables ATOC to make the plant visuals closer to oldDark (smooth edges instead of hard edges)
-sets proper transparencies on a few decals for the same reason
-updates all scripts and some other files (making sure those who are using the dreaded sold out patch don't end up with outdated files. and yes, steam = sold out, so yeah, whoever is running steam with no updates is playing a semi broken hybrid version of 1.07/1.18)
so nothing special, but if your order is "I want a minimal zip that installs NewDark properly with no manual edits required", then this is what should be put onto your plate.
