2016.04.30.05.57 - Edit
Since this thread died I'm just posting my continuing collection of linkys in my Cori's Place notebook.
2016.05.19 - Adding this Google Search for my later reference: "no dependencies" site:https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/
2016.05.20 - Basic Tools to Start Batting.
Let's play a little game. k?
It so happens you will be going somewhere and cannot take anything with you. When you arrive you will have all necessities and a good comp with the basic SC4 and RH discs. You will have 24 hours of internet access from there to gather up the patches and mods you want. Now, before you go, what linkys would you include in a message on this board so you could get the rest of what makes the game good for you? Note: You might choose to use the CDs as drink coasters and download the game from your chosen site. (Hopefully saying which one and why that version.) In my pretend world I get the comp I'm using when I arrive in the distant wherever it is I went. And for this thread game, it does not have anything except the OS tweaked as I do. (Hence the need for linkys here.)
My list will be woefully incomplete and untested (think of it as a wish list) as I've not installed any of them yet. And yes, I could do the pretty link embeds (masking) if I wanted to. I'm choosing not to atm. That's a prettyifying step. Content getability is what I'm seeking atm. (I do love how the experts do it so quickly.)
Anyhow, mine starts with the patches I'm aware of:

2016.04.09.05.35 - Started this edit history section. My notes here will be newest on top just like I'm doing in my Construction Log at Cori's Place (linky in sig) on page 1 (scroll down about 3 screens).

Log Cabins

Note about wishes: If you happen to have something which might fulfill another person's wish (cause you've seen, or better yet, used a mod which does said wish) then post in your blog in this thread something like: A Gift for such-n-such-person using their exact screen name. Use the @ prefix and then start typing.
Now, the game part of this is you have left the gift out in a public place. Many others might grab it too. But it's magical and there's always another for the next visitor. In time the wisher will make the rounds of each other's lists and gather up stuff which appeals to them.

Other participants:
Now, since the way I see the above quotes, I'm wondering if we should edit our initial whatever-we-are-saying so it makes sense as a truncated part of the whole. (I'll quote myself and see what it says, then give an example of my idea. brb ...
Back for a moment. Another question to be answered via testing: Will the quotes I've quoted dynamically update their content if / when the other posters edit their posts? ... brb
