Essential improvements
TFix
TFix updates the game for modern systems. Using it is highly recommended. The GOG.com version already includes some TFix changes.
Enhancement Pack
The Enhancement Pack replaces low quality objects and textures with versions that have higher polygon counts and texture resolutions. It is already included in TFix.
Thief Gold HD Texture Mod
The Thief Gold HD Texture Mod is a pack with HD textures and new effects. It is only compatible with Thief Gold. Note: Makes the game more de-saturated and changes its graphical style in a way some may not like (far more than the Enhancement Pack 2.0 does). A FAQ with installation steps is available.
Enhancement Pack 2.0
The Enhancement Pack 2.0 is an improved version of the Enhancement Pack, with better textures and modified terrain textures. It also applies changes to Thief 2.
