The Independent Mod has seen some adjustments which you can read about in the original post; it is now past the greater majority of it's bugs and functions as well as I'm likely to be able to make it.
I have included a .spk installer version for Part_III of the mod for anyone who prefers that methos of installation; also, all parts of the mod are now in standard 7zip zip format for those who prefer not to download executables. Installation instructions are given above.
Apologies to Symtec; I guess I just made 90
I have done all I can to fix bugs, account for various factors in game, and make this mod as hassle free as possible; please give it a try, and maybe bump this thread once in awhile
