Vanilla? Madder AKA VMD or VMD Sim is a Deus Ex vanilla conversion focused heavily on RPG and roleplay elements, immersive sim gameplay, modernization/QOL, and more. Skill trees, hunger/stress/smell systems, in depth character customization, status effects from foods, and so much more are included. It also boasts the ability to run with almost any mod, and, in the future, will be able to be used as a near-universal starting point for any total conversion. Note: While not beta or demo, the project is in phase 1 of development. The project will reach its ultimate form at phase 4. Even at this relatively early point in its life, it is ready for quite a few hours of gameplay and boasts many fun features. Arguably, it is very much worth at least one try. Or not. You're allowed to dislike it, too.

DX: Nihilum: AE: Moddb.com (WARNING: This mod will install a number of DDS files to your DeusEx\Textures directory without asking. This may override Helios, NV2.0a, or other DDS method graphics mods you have. Back up DDS mods in advance, and delete anything DX:N:AE installs if you don't want it, which I certainly did not, personally.)

Update: As of Phase 1.5m Nihilum has its health HUD portions dislocated in placement. I would release a patch for this, except I forgot to leave a version of my code backed up for such purposes. Arg. Luckily it's not fatal, and will be fixed in Phase 2.
Update 2, 4/2/24: Just finally fixed the Hotel Carone crash, after a 3 hour investigation and troubleshooting session. It should be out with 1.75e, along with a fix for some mod's computers not generating special options when hacked. And of course, 1.75 in general released a fix for Nihilum's health HUD, so we're in a great timeline now.
