Where am I in the grand sequence of patch/mod land?

Probably a few things going on here.

If you have any mods installed prior to patching it then it will not allow you to patch it at all. You need to uninstall, defrag, install off the CD, patch to 1.04B and then install the mods as you wish.

By way of interest what message did you get when you tried to apply the official patches. That might be a clue as to what is going on.

Keep us posted.
