Default Best Mod for solo play?

What is the best Mod for solo play guys?
Or is it best, the first time, to just leave it alone?

TDM mode is a must if you want better AI.

NO! my MOD is better!
No it isn't, your MOD sucks!

Yes it does!
No, You suck!
So does your momma, and realy good too!


A fist fight nearly breaks out, and the involved posters took their anger out on each other in the newest KOTH matchup. Neither has been heard from since.

My personal recommendation is to learn to play the game unmodded so that you can use that as a basis to see if you enjoy the mods later. Then after you have played using several different styles and racial traits, download the mods of your choice, read their readmes and see if you like them. I can personally say that my first choice was the TDM modpack because it only changes the AI's (adds and makes tougher) and from there the sky is the limit.

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.
