FF7 Difficulty Mod Recommendation

[cjmstate]

Looking for a difficulty mod recommendation from those with experience.

Played through the game on normal (which is always easy) and enjoyed the story nonetheless. Beat the weapons without KOTR which was a challenge and now I'm on Sephiroth.

What's the best difficulty mod recommendation for a tougher Sephiroth with chars lvl 90+?

I tried reasonable difficulty and seemed to kill him in 2 rounds of attacks. Not that interested in hardcore due to the materia swaps (turns my master magic into banish..).

Thoughts?

Are you playing on PC or PlayStation?

the hardcore mod is somewhat hard
Nightmare 7 is eat your fingernails hard

I'm playing on PC. I didn't like Hardcore b/c it changes all the materia. My master magic materia suddenly turns into "banish". Not sure how Nightmare works, but I think that requires a full game re-install, since it doesn't show up for mod switching.

There's that reasonable difficulty mod by hay http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=4759.0

But I've never played it.

Has anyone just made a normal boosted scene mod?  like...someone could make a 2-3x HP, ~2-4X stats, 2X level scene mod and that would suit a lot of players' purposes I would think.

N7 requires a clean install, yeah. It's not finished yet though.
