Well, there is absolutelly no "Must Have"

It always depends on yourself or your users what hacks would benefit you and your board.
Also keep in mind, every single Modification can make your board slower or produce bugs. Or the combination of two mods can be problematical. So i suggest not to install hacks just for fun, but to install those which will really help you and your community.

With vB3, I find there's nothing that is most have. vBulletin has evolved with so much functionality that most hacks are only 'extras' now.

I've used a lot of other boards but vBulletin has most features "built in" that the others require hacks for. This is one of the reasons I'm so pleased with vB. Honestly, the mod I'm most proud of on my board is the World Weather. I just added it. Was rather time consuming since i added it to a test board first but I'm thrilled with the results.
