Anyone has a file or link? I'd like to try it with my 1.1 (pre-steam locked) version if that will work....

AFAIK it's Steam only, as it is handled as DLC form there.
Couldn't find an external link...

Thanks for trying. It's a shame - the Day1 release version runs so nice without Steam (no hacks required) so I want to keep it off Steam. I guess the "usual suspects" will have to provide the files...

I really suggest updating the game to 1.4 b/c it is much better.

Dunno why people would be using anything other than 1.4. 1.4 fixes alot of quest bugs (finally), the large memory address was implemented in the patch before that and it runs much more stable. I haven't had a crash since 1.2. The game is simply put miles ahead of its release debacle. The only reason you wouldn't want 1.4 is that you don't have a legit copy in the first case.

Now with the hi-res textures the game is beginning to look like a proper PC rpg. The world is simply stunning now.
And with the workshop mods are a breeze. Gone are the days of copying and pasting or using a mod manager. The workshop is the second best thing to come out besides the CK. Then the hi-res pack is a very close third.
I'm just waiting for the UI fixes from the CK to get rid of the awful consolified UI.

Why not run Nexus Mod Manager and install some mods that way? SkyUI is a great way to improve the look of the UI. I also like the adaptive HUD mod, which removes the HUD until you actually do something that requires it, like combat. There are a number of other mods that make the game look like, as you say, a proper PC RPG and not a console game. In SkyUI, I've decreased the size of the font, too.
