Nuvie developer Malignant Manor took it upon himself to play through both Ultima V: Lazarus and the Ultima 6 Project back in March; he chronicled his adventures in each over on the RPG Codex.

He struggled with frequent crashes and exception errors whilst working his way through Lazarus, but had somewhat better luck — and stability — with the Ultima 6 Project.

He also took it upon himself to make a number of mods, all of which — I think — are for the Ultima 6 Project. These are mostly minor fixes; one enables ships to be bought at any time, another allows Mariah to be recruited straightaway, and others tweak small aspects of the game in similar ways. The files were all hosted at GameFront, but have seemingly been pulled down since March. I’ll have to reach out to Malignant Manor to see if he kept copies of them…and, I suppose, I’ll have to work on repairing the project entry that they’ll necessarily become a part of.
