I have been trying modlists lately in favor of searching for and d/l'ing my own mods. It's made the game a bit more enjoyable and slightly more stable than when I mod it myself. Still doesn't help hit late game though. A enw update will come out that makes my previous saves broken so I start over again.
Interesting, I am currently out so I haven't had a chance to watch this, but I am curious if it goes over anything most textbooks wouldn't cover? This is definitely a really cool topic
