Hi there. I would like to know if there is a known collection of mods that graphically overhaul Sins. I have trinity with the latest version included as I re-downloaded the installer earlier today. It seems that all the mods that effect graphics also seem to effect other aspects of the game.

Seven Deadly Sins is a good example. There is also Bailknights mod, but that is pretty outdated and has been incorporated/built upon via many other mods.

I would like to know if it's possible to use certain elements of certain mods, without using any of the game mechanic changing aspects. For example the graphical and sound replacement parts of distant stars.

On the other hand, "Total effects, complete particle conversion" seems like a good bet, is it possible to use that mod along side another mod that alters the sound effects? (I can't seem to find any that do only that, help here would be nice.)

I seem to vaguely remember from a while back, when i played a fair bit and was looking into this kind of stuff before, that using mods can cause various issues with playing on-line. Is this true, does this apply to mods that only effect graphics/sound and not alter any mechanics, and is there a way to get round these issues if all parties involved use the same mod/s?

Lastly, considering my install is from an extremely recent download where I did not have to download any additional data to play online, do i need to worry about patching the game in any way to ensure I have the right version to use any mods?

Thanks in advance.
