I have to agree with this. Run the game for a while with no mods.

Why ? Two reasons, firstly you can see what you do and dont like and want to change, secondly and more importantly you can be sure you have a stable installation so if it starts acting up after a mod install you know what did it.

Best install path is to
1. Defrag your drive
2. Clean the registry
3. Reboot then install the game
4. Reboot again then install the patch 1.4
5. Reboot again and (finally) enjoy the game.
6. Come back to these forums and tell us about your experiences.

Good luck have fun !
