Default Advice needed on Classic SE IV

Can someone tell me in easy-to-understand English what the difference between Classic SE IV and Gold is? And why I should pay another 40$ for SE IV GOLD when I own the origial? Is there any way to patch Classic to Gold? Or is that shadey?

Thanks for the help in advance, been a couple years since I broke out SE IV. SE V is a definite must-have if its as good as SE IV.

Yes we await SE5 - but it could be 1 year - 2 years though.

Well, there are several really cool mods that are only possible in SE4 Gold. Think of all the different games you get rolled into one by purchasing Gold.

If not that... there have been many bug fixes and feature improvement in the Gold Versions. Skim through the Version history posted on the download pages to see what has been added.

Stuff in Good, not in classic:
- Better AI
- More modding options
- Drones
- +++ bug fixes
- Mouse wheel support
- Simultaneous game saves
- All major mods are for Gold
- Most players use Gold on PBW
- lots of little items that make the game interface better

That's just a few things off the top of my head.

If you think $40 for a game that you'll end up playing for a year or two until SE:V comes up is a good investment, then yes it might be a good idea to get Gold.

Gotta admit that they have done a good job so far with SE4 in terms of updates etc.

You know that gold might be worth the upgrade as SE5 is going to be taking its time in development to be a quality product in a few years time
