So its better to run vanilla? Or is there some other fan patch?Do NOT install the Co8 patch. It adds crap like Cloud's sword (yes, THAT Cloud Strife) and viciously destabilizes your save games, increasing their chances of corrupting with every load. The effect is retroactive, so if you have 1 save corrupted it corrupts all others. Also the 'fine' folk at Co8 use their patch to datamine without permission, so don't connect to the internet if you have it installed (game doesn't need to be running for it to do it's mining)
C08 Patch: Avoid like the fucking plague.
I never played vanilla, so take my opinion with a grain of salt (I've Temple+ and Co8 installed). But there are still lots of issues. Crashes when fast travelling, NPCs not progressing turns (sometimes to the point where I have to use the console to get out of the fight), encounters starting with enemies two rooms away, NPCs that turn hostile for no reason, etc.
Then there's the fact that genociding legions of bugbears can only hold my attention for so long, but that's got nothing to do with mods.
