Best Mod for solo play?

I play Proportions mod only and besides few hotseat games with my wife I play it solo. After Proportions I feel unmodded SE is plain silly - no "realism" whatsoever.

Thanks guys. BTW, is the simulator entertaining enough by its self to set up and watch? I mean, is it at least as interesting as say, soccor?

Proportions is no more realistic than unmodded se4.

I like devnull as well for solo. They have Space Monsters

One thing you have to watch out for with mods is many of them do not have AIs that work with the mod.

Fyron's Quadrant Mod (FQM) is great. It generates a greater variety of quadrants.
Just occurred to me. Which Version of the FQM is the most "AI Friendly"?
I'm sure you have seen reference to the TDM Mod pack and the Image mods. Both are well worth installing.

There are over 7500000 people that may have a copy of early Versions of Proportions. Thousands of which play it probably every week and receive enjoyment from it. I am one of them. With every new Version release, Peter von Kleinsmid the creator of Proportions has made advancements in the AI abilities. Peter is currently up to v2.53 and we all look forward to his updates.

I am with you Oleg. Proportions concepts do add more realism to the base SE4 game.

I really enjoy Proportions and AST. I play TDM, too, but the AIs are a bit out of date. Once they get the new TDM update out of beta, it will be a "must" as well. Side note, I think the AST mod incorporates the FQM mod as well as several others.
