I want to keep the original game play without adding any additional content (new weapons, enemies, quests and so on). What mods do you recommend? I am mostly looking for something that makes the game more pleasing to the eyes and enhances the voices, menus, textures and models.

While I am at it ... Why is the registering and the making of threads made so difficult for newcomers? I had to use some time to search for the "Verification Questions & Answers". I think this will prevent MANY newcomers from taking part in discussion. If someone wants to register they may want to read this https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?wap2;topic=109.0

If you click on the link "MOTHER" above you will be guided to a collection of helpful stuff.

There you will find the "Newbie Modding Guide" which will lead you here

There is also a pretty good write up about this from RocketMan which you can find here

Ok, the newbie modding guide was pretty much what I was looking for.

Only thing I am now interested in is if I install the following:
1. SHTUP (object textures upgrade)
2. ADaoB (bug fixing and rebalancing)
3. SHMUP (original music, better quality)
4. Rebirth (new enemy models)
5. Four Hundred (environment texture upgrade)
6. Tacticool (weapons upgrade) - Choose the ADaoB compatible pistol and all other guns.
7. Eldron Psi Amp (another weapon)
8. Vurt's Space Textures (for nice window views)
9. Vurt's Goo (organics) - Choose all, but decide on one egg version


Can I also install the following or are there compatibility issues?

the alternative weapons pack may partially conflict with Tacticool - you can't have both wrenches installed, for example. only pick one of each weapon and you should be fine.

I understood that only one of the weapons in Tacticool pack works with ADaoB?
Also do I need to patch steam version or do something else to get them working on steam version? Or can I just unpack files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SS2\DataPermMods folder?
