Althought the 'normal' GOG version is already patched for bugs, but here you can get also the 'Plus Content', with various additional changes (and music from the composer of original soudtrack, who kindly help the community by giving unused track to them). True Patch Gold: This one is, as WindFalcon said, 'an alternative' for purists - this patch fixes the bugs but does not change the game.
No additional stuff, only what was there to begin with, only fixed. Bloodline: Antitribu: Additional clans, Disciplines (shapeshifting, summoninng), quests, maps, characters, changes in combat. The second link is for hotfix (added just in case). Final Camarilla Edition.

Have fun, Neonates.;) You a member of the modding community? Much thanks for the patches and mods if so. Can you answer this question I posted earlier for me? Haydenaurion: You a member of the modding community?
Much thanks for the patches and mods if so. Can you answer this question I posted earlier for me? No, no, no, I'm just a fan of the game, which in turn they made enjoyable. And because there is usually a topic like tihs, I posted it here. I hope people will come here and add their findings to the list because, ironically, I'm generaly not a fan of modding games.
But VtM:B is one of exceptions - unofficial patch is really a given. Plus conents, clan mods etc. maybe not, although people not only praise them, but really recommend them. And sadly I can't answer your question except that people generally recommend going with Plus patch, even on first playthrough. Bethezer: What? No, no, no, I'm just a fan of the game, which in turn they made enjoyable. And because there is usually a topic like tihs, I posted it here.

Plus conents, clan mods etc. maybe not, although people not only praise them, but really recommend them. Yeah, i'm generally trying to find out more specifics in the Plus version of the unofficial patch especially in regards to restored or added disciplines, but have come up empty in my searches.
To those who are considering playing either of these great games, look into the various patches and mods. This means you,. For Vampire: Bloodlines, google the following: Bloodlines Antitribu (+7 clans with new models, traits, and disciplines, new mechanics, improved enemies, NPC disciplines, companions, summons, +100 new characters) February 5th, 2015 release. I would add: 1.
Force anisotropic filtering in graphics driver settings for the game (this is probably the best graphic boost you can get for Bloodlines). You can also force V-Sync with triple buffering. Add these lines to autoexec.cfg (. UnofficialPatch cfg) for the best sound: // Sound Patch sndsurround 1 dspon 1 dspspatial 41 dspstereo 1 dspdistmax 9999 hisound 1 3.
Use SweetFX (. PatchExtras Player Mods) 4. Bloodlines Audio Overhaul v2.0 mod. It's pretty good. Weapons sounds and Malkavian whispers seem much better. In case of Disciplines I have only tested Tremere's ones - Thaumaturgy and Bloodheal sounds are cool but in case of Auspex and Dominate I prefer the original ones.
But you can always test everything yourselft and use what you like. Blackthorne871: I've had trouble getting the antitribu to work on steam (installed by itself) is it possible to run it and the Unofficial patch? 'Compatibility: Antitribu contains Companion Mod with all of its features. All the rest big mods, like Clan Quest Mod, Final Nights, Camarilla Edition also latest Wesp's unofficial patches are not compatible with Antitribu. If you install any of the mods over Antitribu, it will inevitably lead to bugs and crashes. You can only install graphical and textural mods.' Unfortunately that's a no.:(.
Taral-DLOS: I was wondering if/how these mods work with a copy installed via GOG Galaxy. I ask with complete ignorance for how the mods work or how installation with GOG Galaxy works.
Is it just as easy to install these mods as if I were doing it from the installed-from-CD copy? The installation process of the mods should work the same way it works for any other version of the game (CD, Steam, etc.). However, as it was noted before, the GOG version has some differences compared to the vanilla version of the game with the official patch 1.2. Just saying, I don't think it will cause any issues. If you have any doubts, you can simply download the installer and install the game manually, thus, doing the exact same process as if it was installed from CD.
This is GREAT! I have a question though: Regarding the Camarilla edition, is it compatible with the Unofficial Patch? I have the game through GoG, so I'm assuming I automatically have the Unofficial Patch. So I downloaded and installed Camarilla Edition, and it shows up a splash screen for it when I run the game, but none of its 'features' are there. The Email College, the lack of spending blood on common skills, the blood dropping based on time, etc. It's all just the same game.
Can you think of why? I think that you somehow installed the unofficial patch overtop of the Camarilla Edition and it overwrote some of the base files. Since you're saying that you get the splash screen and the features are gone, though, I think that might be the case. Though, if you're using the latest version of the patch and mod, that shouldn't be happening because they're modfoldered now. In any case, I think I'd suggest making a backup of your saves, reinstalling your game and then trying to reinstall Camarilla edition overtop of a clean game.
Make sure the mod is going into the proper directory and what not, too. Yeah, I spent forever last night messing with it. I think I figured it out. I installed the wrong version of Camarilla Edition. I finally figured out that the GoG version of the game comes with the mod loader, so if you install the old Camarilla version, it messes up. NOW, the problem is that the Camarilla mod page made a 'mod loader friendly' version, but when I try to download it, it gets flagged as having a virus/malware.
So for now I'm screwed until they fix it lol. But yeah, the way GoG does it, they give you the base game, with the Unofficial Patch, but the Unofficial Patch loads as a mod to the game. So to play Camarilla Edition, you have to make a new shortcut that goes through the Camarilla Mod folder instead of the Unofficial Patch folder.
