Mod Organizer 2 is a mod manager first made for bethesda game RPGs (notably skyrim) that uses a Virtual File System. It means that instead of directly copying files into the game folder Mod Organizer keep mods in separate folders and redirect the game to the mod assets through the VFS. For Black & White 2, it means you no longer have to make backup of your files for so much as installing a map.

For Redux 1.7.1 (1.8 isn't supported) :

To use the very latest version use this (download using right click -> download from link).
To use Redux for TPP first follow the installation instruction for Redux but make a copy of Redux's white.exe, then follow the instruction for TPP using this exe instead of the game's one.
