Best mods for complete realism?

I got MVP04 when it first came out. I was here for all the testings of the various progression mods, and the breakthroughs with stadium editing.

That said, I haven't played MVP, or checked out the forums in at least a couple month. I'm going to be reloading my whole system soon, and I want to put together a CD with all the best mods to bring the game up to speed when I reinstall MVP.

From the get go, I know I'll be downloading the Total Minors roster set, and all the uniforms from T2P. I'll be getting EZorn's Fenway, and Trues' NESN overlay.

I figure I'll need the other 29 stadiums. Are there any other that have been done by hometown fans with the attention to detail as EZorn?

I figure I should get some facepacks too, defintiely at least Caveman Damon, given that I'm a Sox fan. Any suggestions on which ones to get?

I understand if individuals, or the moderators, don't want specific names mentioned so some of the modders don't get their toes stepped on. So if you don't want to name names, or if the moderators don't want names named, please PM me with your suggestions.

Yes, it does. Deadmonkey's post directly addressed that.

You're welcome.

edit- oh and I guess I could have mentioned I didn't know they answers to the rest of the questions, sry ;)

Kccitystar's(Turn 2 Productions) or Boricuapapi's are probably the best I've seen.

Sorry for the curtness w/ my last reply, I was in a bit of a bad mood at the time.

The only thing that post really helps me with is to use Pirate's stadiums, but although I didn't say it, I already knew about those. Unfortunately Pirate never got around to doing all the stadiums, and I'm looking for as many EZorn-quality parks as I can get.

I actually thought of a couple other things I'd probably need too.

Basically the only questions I really need answered are these:

1. What versions of each stadium are the best to use?

2. What versions of each facepack are the best to use?

3. What rookie-name file is the best to use?

4. What are the best portrait sets to use?

I already plan on getting the Total Minor roster, and that comes w/ the updated player progession file. I'll obvioulsy get the patch from EA, and I'll be getting the RRodkey datafile.

it's all personal preference. d/l them and try them out. if you don't like it, uninstall it. what i think and what you think about a certain mod can and probably will be totally different.

I agree with jpup, it's a matter of preference. Also it's a matter of how the mod runs on your system, for instance Halofan made a excellent stadium mod for Edison Field. However it makes the game play very choppy on MY system, maybe because of the hi res grass?

Another example of preference is Devil made some very good portraits, but I don't like the halo around the players. LLverre has made some good one too, but some of the pics look blurry. I like to go with the mod that has the most completed teams...I'm using LLverre photo sets.

None of this matters since you asked for realism and again what is real for me maybe arcade gameplay for you. So... if you have patch 2 installed, I suggest starting out with Rod 7 datafile with some of the camera tweeks hacked by other including myself.

The player progression mod is excellent if you plan on simming games, but not very good if you play the games IMO. Stick with the EA fix for the progression part if you play your games.

Sliders are another preference issue, find what works best for you. Pared has some good sliders posted over at OS, I have not tried them...but the ones he has done in the past for other games have been excellent.
