At first glance I wasn't overly impressed, but user content and hacks make this game remarkable. The more expansions installed the deeper the game. User content and hacks make it a much more customized game, why can't we adjust all games like this? Different sites all over the Internet offer an amazing amount of custom content allowing players to create the game they want. some of this content is nothing short of incredible. The only drawbacks are, 1) the enormous amount of disk space required, but with drive space expanding exponentially, this shouldn't be a problem. 2) download content and meshes. sometimes getting content to appear is a pain beyond belief, frustration and disappointment can often lead to deleting large sections of content. 3) conflicts of different hacks and content can cause bizarre results, the least of which is the message..."the application has crashed and will now shut down." I recommend you save often, and do a little research before installing content.
