Conversion Pack Options?

[SithStalker6]

So, somehow I'd never realized this game could be modded, and I just installed the Conversion Pack, and Dark Times II: Rising Son, both of which add massive amounts of maps and new units to the game. I'm curious if there's a setting which allows you to pick and choose what new things occur.
Is it possible to choose which skin packs you want? Are the skins randomly decided? I've had the Orange clones on Kamino, the Battlefront 2 vanilla clones on Kamino, and the remastered Battlefront 1 clones on Kamino, for example. I'm just not sure how it decides which skin pack is being applied. Also, there's like 50 new hero's added. Same question: is it randomly decided when you start the match which heros are in play? Are they map specific?
Finally, the music. I love that more music has been added to the game, but I wish "Yub Nub" wouldn't play in the middle of an intense firefight. Kind of ruins the moment. Any way to choose which songs are or are not allowed to play?
I've looked through the game, but haven't played around with the files yet. Figured I'd ask if someone has been able to change any of that before I potentially ruin something :P
Thanks!

Usually both the units and heroes are map specific.
You CAN however, Google SWBF2 Skin Changer and choose whatever unit skins you want by having the 1.3 patch installed (it DOESNT update your game. your game will forever be 1.1 it just adds functions to the game such as Fake Console and Free Camera. In the Fake Console you can see the skin names there. You access this by pressing ESC)
If you are unhappy with the Blue HUD in the game on the top and bottom side, that is from the 1.3 patch and you CAN remove it. The 2.0 Conversion pack (and 2.2 patch) add the 1.3 patch to the game.

You cannot choose which songs to play in the background.

You also shouldn't mess with files if you're not familiar with them.
Make sure you also don't install too many mods because you might reach a "limit" where the game either will crash or some mods will not be displayed on the instant action menu.
You can, however, MOVE folders out of addon folder (make sure you know which ones you want to play at that moment; example: let's say that you want to play the conversion pack... You keep the BF1 folder that is in addon in that folder. If you don't see a map on the list and you don't want to play that mod (conversion pack) then remove the BF1 folder from addon and place it elsewhere. This could be on your GameData or SWBF2 folder or anywhere of your choice as long as you remember where exactly and you remember that you removed it.

Hopefully this information will help you if you install multiple mods. There is another way to do it which involves renaming a certain file inside one of the mod folders but this is the safest way for beginners.

Good luck and have fun

Thanks! Yeah, I read about the fix for the new HUD. I've only installed the 2 mods, and that's probably all I'll do for a while. The game has a 500 mission limit, so I'm pretty close to that with these 2 mods (they're massive). Thanks for the detailed response!
