Forget the bad reviews, this is a free update (as long as you have the expansions) to a game that, while yes, is better with mods, will allow the modders to do so much more with it than they could before.

Free isn't something we should take for granted when other remakes come out (baring the comparatively worse Bioshock) and ask you to buy the game all over again.

Simply, this will allow many more PCs to be able to run this game with better mods for a much longer time.
