The mods in the archives are mostly identical, but **1.0.8.0 includes more Quality of Life changes at the cost of some fixes from FusionFix and removes the Rockstar Games Launcher DRM, while 1.2.0.59 is considered to be more stable and polished.**
 
     My personal preference for a vanilla-faithful playthrough is the 1.2.0.59 archive, and 1.0.8.0 archive for a vanilla+ playthrough (a replay, maybe).
