Default Observations, Question and Ruminations

Greetings All,

Had the CD fast mailed. Almost couldn't wait for it-1/2 through dloading the demo, decided against (fearing conflicts w/full Version). Package arrived Fri.- glanced and hissed at the sun on Mon.!

Won first game against 4 comp. gen. easy- they stayed in their own systems. Small quad.

Tried no mods or anything extra as I wanted to see "What she's got" before changing things. Got TDM and a couple more mods from disk, made a folder "Mods" in GEIV folder and each mod in it's own folder in mods. Used the ModLaunchProgram- in its own folder in Mods folder, but can't seem to have it find the mod TDM.

I'm sure I'm not doing it right and won't mind trashing the folders I've made to get it right, but just need clarification.

The game, and the possibilities for changing it to suit your preference, is awesome. Can't wait to get to design ships and cultures! Are new items allowed to be created as well? And planets- sometimes it seems the description doesn't fit with the pic nor the values. Can this be changed?

Also, (Oh No, Not Another Basic Computing Question!!!) how can I tell wich Versions of the game and mods are on the CD? And, besides the ones mentioned above, which mods should I look into- realising that suggestions will be subjective...

Thanx in advance for the help- look forward to learning more.
