Is there a current list of the must have, no doubt about it mods out there somewhere? I'm finally going to get this game in January so I wanted to get a head start downloading mods. But there are so many sites out there I don't know where to begin. So any help, opinions, anything would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just bought original M&B (yay) are there any graphics mods I should get or is the game updated enough as is? Thanks for reading
