With most folks suggesting it, I think I will actually start with the vanilla first. I felt pretty comfortable with it (figuring out what was needed and, the menus) and that first town I got going a bit, but it was far from stable. I want to get it at least self-sustaining.
Plus with the holidays, I won't have a whole lot of free time. Hopefully though, I'll have the time needed to become proficient with the original version.
Again, thanks!
