From the Step-by-step guide to getting started thread in Files. (post #'s46 & 47.
How many of these steps are necessary, versus how many are just for making the UI look Classic? Let's say I don't care for classic spell gems or spell effects, would I be able to skip certain steps?
most of the aesthetic changes can be skipped ( ui, spell effects, spell gems, loading screen, etc.)
the dbstr and spells_us files cannot be skipped without causing alot of headache (especially if you're a caster)
The zone changes cannot be skipped if you ever intend to be in, or travel through, those zones.

Might be worth adding, just to cover the bases...
