Thanks to the person who gave me the link for the Doom 3 codes and me finally setting up dual screens I've been having a fucking blast playing this gem of a game.

I've put the flashlight sticky mod on and configured the config doc so I can run it on 1920x1080.

But I wouldn't mind some nice updates of graphics... Tried to google for some, downloaded a couple but they fucked up my save file and made the graphics absolutely fucked up. So I ended up having to delete and integrity check the files so I could play it properly again.

So, O Wise GOGgers, I ask thee... What are some GOOD mods that actually WORK? FYI I'm using the steam version if that makes an ounce of difference. :)

Is there a simple mod installer or do I have to plonk them in the \base folder every time?

If you haven't already, take a look at [url=http://doom3.filefront.com/files/Doom_III/Mods;4071 ]the filefront.com Doom 3 mods[/url]

The only mod I have installed at the moment is the ambient light mod. Brightens the game play a bit.

I have looked at that site but most of the stuff in there is shit - the stuff that fucked up my save file were from that site.

What I'm really asking for is the best of the best mods. :) And I'd like a really good graphic update/mod/overhaul if there's one?

I'll try the ambient light one though, thanks Stuff :)

It's not unusual for a mod to not work with an existing save. If you remove the new mod your old save file may load as expected.

I usually start a new game when I install a mod as it can change the game in many ways and, as I said above, refuse to work with an existing save.

I liked that particular ambient light mod as it brightened the game just about right, IMHO. If you want to retain the scary then the flashlight is the way to go . . . =)

I use the Perfected Doom mod. It's kind of an all around mod: graphics, gameplay tweaks, some new gun skins and sounds. The graphic enhancements are fine, but what I like are the minor tweaks. Zombies now take a lot more punishment, but a single shot to the head will kill them. And the enemies don't burst into faerie dust when you kill them.

Excellent - the Perfect Doom texture mod and general 5.4 mod look awesome - downloading now!
Hmmm.

The texture pack doesn't seem to do anything except make the game look more terrible and the general 5.4 mod doesn't work at all - keeps failing to start up until I delete the pack4 file...???
Sikkmod? The pictures look pretty good.

It won't work properly - I get the white screen if I have the HDR enabled, and there's way too many options for me to fix it properly without fiddling for 100 years. With HDR off, basically I get a black screen with a few lines of colour, turning off another feature enables a bit more colour and so on and forth... :\

Sorry for what? :) It's cool man! I'm enjoying playing Doom 3 but wouldn't mind some graphical tweaks is all.

Currently drooling at Far Cry 2010 mod - cant fucking wait for th guy to finish it so I can play Far Cry in glorious Crysis-like resolution and beauty.
I just seem to have no luck with mods. :( The only one I've gotten working is the flashlight one and even then, I don't really know if I want it that much, takes away a fair bit of the scare-factor since I'm deaf and rely on visuals only....

Did you try the funny Lewdicrous mod for Doom3 yet?

Also for graphics/etc there's always the Ultimate Doom3 mod.

Ultimate Doom 3 mod doesn't work for shit on mine.... >:( Can't even get past the menu screen - buggy as hell.

I'm starting to suspect it's to do with Steam. Fucking Steam.
