I play my own mod too, which is based on Barbarossa's VBM and that I have heavily modified. That mod contents me; I have customized the game to my own taste (or at least tried to...)

I gave a try at XGM but stopped playing because the game was lagging so much that it was unbearable.

EB does appeal to me, but I fear it will be the same story that for XGM.

I know I could upgrade my CPU but there's a greater danger lurking, Oblivion.
I know that if my CPU can handle that game, I'll turn again into no-lifeness...
