Thanks for the feedback Utu13.

My best advice is to do some reading in this very area, or moreso the Workshop builds one level down. Mods can be personal, so it really comes down to what you want to do, what your skill levels are and do you want to do it yourself. There are plenty of threads that have shown varying levels of mods, some done at home and some paid for.

Research is king. Sorry if you where looking for an easy answer.

Cheers
Stu
