What mods to put and why?

[ItsD0ppelgangeR]

Hi guys, so first off, I haven't played this game in such a long time, and i dont even know if I ever passed this game (prob not..) so should I first pass it without mods and then add them or? Ok now, what mods should I install (if any)? I had ZDoom before, but changed to Zandronum when I installed this game again. Should I put any other games? Thx

If you're wanting to get into mods, I suggest swapping Zandronum with GZDoom, as it has better mod/map support. You set it up the same way you did ZDoom and Zandronum q:

As for your question: no rules on whether or not you should beat it with mods. But if you found the game to be a bit tricky, you could download something like Russian Overkill, which gives you tons of powerful weapons. If you're interested in custom maps, Doom World is the best place. ModDB also has it's share of awesome maps though!

You could instal gz doom and then smooth doom .
It keeps the original gameplay but adds more frames and makes it look better .

Just get Project Brutality and Doom Metal OST pack along with HD textures, that'd be a good revisiting experience

I highly suggest beating both DOOM I and II in as close to a near-vanilla experience as you can get. I got my clears in BFG Edition, but if you don't have that I would suggest Chocolate Doom, which is even closer to vanilla.
Many source ports such as ZDoom and GZDoom have default settings which can completely break vanilla difficulty in dark areas. They have pretty a pretty overwhelming amount of user options, which is awesome, but I don't suggest trying to configure the authentic experience for yourself until you know what you're supposed to be seeing. I primarily use GZDoom now, but it wasn't what I wanted for my first clears.
BFG Edition: near-vanilla, and very simple.
Chocolate Doom - near dead-vanilla, a hardcore emulation of the original software renderer, really fascinating stuff.
Beating this content will prepare you for the difficulty of most user mods.
Beating it in vanilla is sorta rites of passage. if you mouselooked on the DOOM II final boss, it would be zero challenge. Make us proud.

As you can see I'm not terribly interested in overkill weapon mods like Project Brutality and Brutal Doom, but to each their own.
By the time you're loading these mods I think it's a good time to setup GZDoom. I highly reccomend running it in OpenGL with Dynamic Lights enabled.

I recommend the PSX TC. I absolutely LOVE the Playstation version of Doom and PSX TC is the next best thing to PSX emulation or running the actual game.
