Just a reminder. When you install other mods, especially RSRDC, over TMO you are no longer playing TMO. Ducimus' gameplay was finely balanced and other mods often play with settings that upset that balance to ridiculous ends.
Environmental mods were Ducimus' personal bugaboos, he hated them because they made lots of people visit his thread and PM him asking what the @#$@ was wrong with TMO. Then they asked him to fix it. Didn't make his day. Read his readme that nobody reads for an earful of his opinion of layering other mods on top of TMO.
Some mods are fine to use with TMO. Skins for sub and ships, keyboard and plotting mods, medal mods, mission packs, loading screens, and some few other things I can't access right now do not interfere with gameplay. Believe it or not you can paint your sub bright dayglow orange and the enemy won't detect you any differently than stock!
Things you don't think can affect gameplay often do. Things that should destroy gameplay sometimes have no effect at all.
I like playing TMO by itself, plus sub and ship skins only to be sure I'm experiencing TMO, not my own frankenmod.
