Essential improvements

Patches

The Official 1.1 patch is essential. GOG and 2 CD disc copies will already have this installed.

Mods

There are several recommended mods containing bug fixes, widescreen support, restoration of cut content content and tweaks to some of the more annoying aspects of the game (such as the hit-points per level being constant instead of completely random). It is recommended that you follow this guide, as the mods require that you install them in a certain order. GOG.com version users can skip to step 3a.
