That's basically how I play but I'm intrigued with the Proportions mod.

Re: Anyone play without mods?
Evader, I think this is how most mods originated: some tweak here and there, add something, balance some weapons. You will not notice before you'll have full Devnull mod in your hands 
Proportions is indeed very different. It turns whole SE4 gameplay upside down and it is obvious that PvK made it in revolutionary, not evolutionary way.

Re: Anyone play without mods?
A quick survey of my Savegame folders:
Straight v1.67 - seven solo games, 1 Play-By-Web, two scenarios (which are technically mods).
v1.67 + TDM-ModPack - 3 solo games
v1.67 + DevNullModGold,
v1.67 + my Hypermaze,
v1.67 + my Hypermaze plus experimental tweaks,
v1.67 + Pirates & Nomads,
v1.67 + Proportions - 1 solo game each
v1.49 + TDM-ModPack - 1 PBW
I still find the unmodded game interesting enough that I don't feel a strong urge to explore the tech mods.

Re: Anyone play without mods?
Most PBW games use vanilla SE4.

Re: Anyone play without mods?
One day when I get sick of the Standard Game, I'll switch to a mod, but that day still hasn't arrived, even after 12 months.

Re: Anyone play without mods?
I love the standard game, but I played Proportions a few months back and now I'm hooked. All my vsAI are proportions these days. It will take something really special to drag me away from that. (Derek's Mod?)

Re: Anyone play without mods?
My only gripe with Proportions is damn pacifist AI - reflection of PvK philosophy, I guess
For my games I copied AI_anger and politicics files from corresponding TDM races. Now I have a really bloodthirsty Sergetti and Crystoline !
