These are all conservative mods that essentially conserve the original gameplay. However, if you don't want to hassle too much with mods without altering the game experience too much, download Wulf Beginner's Mod Pack.

• SSS Torchlight Texture Project - Retextures most of Torchlight
• GenderMod - Adds opposite gender variants of existing classes
• Merchant Pack - Adds additional merchants
• Better Balanced Sale Prices - Balances the amount of gold acquired when selling
• Total Respec Mod - Adds 10 different respec potions into the game for resetting character's stats and skills.

To clear save games from the game once Steam Cloud has been used you will need to remove the save files from the Steam Cloud folder as well. The Windows and Mac save files are compatible but have to be manually synced by removing all existing save files for the target platform and then copying the source files to the regular save file location.
