discussion MODs right away or Vanilla first?

[Itsme]

First play is always vanilla, the second play is with mods. One exception are games with dress up / customizing options. If there is already good stuff available to make my chars look better, then the first play can be modded. What I avoid are mods that nerf game difficulty or simplify game elements.

Mods right away. Experience learns it is not worth it without (in most cases )

 

[DubbleU]

I'll use them if they're available, but I always use URM. Unless the creator blocks them...

Mod's right way if it's a walkthrough...After all I got introduced into this via a VN

 

[xatfx]

I'm using the available mods right away. I know, it's not serious...

Mods if available, these games are stubborn about giving the choice of potato or tomato with one of them making you lose 10% of the games content and making 0 fucking sense. I trust that if someone made a walkthrough mod for a game, that the game did a shit job of making choices clear.

I've never modded anything outside of Skyrim. If I started using more mods, I'd like to think I'd play vanilla first to increase the odds that I'll play through a second time.

For normal games I go vanilla unless it is a mod that fixes things the company should have done. For porn games I always pick up the walkthrough/cheat mod in the first run and decide mid game if I want to use it.

If the game isn't within my kinks then I'll mod it right away if I can because why not

Vanilla first, mods only come to play of the game is too save scummy or slow and a mod solves those issues

 

[xartma]

I always play vanilla first. I'm an achievement whore and want to 100% before using mods cause mods and CC's stop you from getting them.

 

[lGrean]

I go for mods right away, but only mods that fixes bugs and stuff, or change very little, then once Im done with my first playthrough Ill go crazy on the mods.

 

[bdogvn25]

I actually play games once so I mod upfront.

 

[Cocoliso]

It depends on the game, but vanilla comes first most of the time.
When mods/cheats are used, the game experience is no longer the same and you end up losing interest in the game.

Most games i go Vanilla, though i will may add graphic mods/character appearance options even on 1st playthrough. 2nd playthrough i look at popular mods, and later i go for a more personal style, adding the mods which may add options to character

 

[mikeross]

Generally vanilla first. Unless the game is really old and needs mods to function.

 

[Malaguart]

Vanilla first, always.
