Anyways, if you're not using a mod like TMO you need to go for it. Some say wait awhile cuz it's harder, but it fixes so much and gives you a much better game, including visual aspects. You got to learn the aspects of a mod anyway, so the soon the better.

you make some good points: many of non-patrol missions in Stock 1.5 are not setup for success. Photo missions without targets to photo...lifeguard missions where survivors are not properly defined, for example.
mega-mods such as TMO (Ducimus) and FOTRSU have fixed those missions such that you have a chance at completing them successfully.
now...having said that, i would not take on either of those mods without first surviving a few careers with Stock or GFO because they require more experience and skill to survive and be successful than Stock/GFO. otherwise, a new player gets frustrated just trying to survive all of the aircraft or detection and assault from the lethal DE's.
...and i would not move to the advanced mods just for photo or lifeguard missions, either.
