The demo made me want to replay the originalWhat are the mandatory mods for bugfixes and whatnot?
Ufo_extender? The AI one?
Take a look at this: http://ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Enemy_Unknown_Extended.
Personally, I would edit the ufoextended.ini myself, but still take a look at the one they link on that page because it enables the mods and fixes the community considers safe to use, that it doesn't change the game much and provides some improvements. I do not like them all, like the aliens receiving fatal wounds, but it's a good place to start. Some will make the game a bit easier for you, and some will make it harder within reason. Check the readme for the ufoextender as well for a description of the various options, and also those that are enabled by default. If you want to deactivate one of those, you'll have to enter the line yourself in the ini file. I posted mine here if you are interested.

The latest version of the UFO Extender have the kyrub AI patch, unless you mean another one.
