as to what mods to use having version 1003. I see a long list and tried one, but it wouldnt work without 1011.
How can I easily detect what mod I can use for 1003?
The top of the normal list of mods for 1.003/1.011 will mostly have 1.003 mods. Almost no good ones are for that version though. Why can't you just update and get the full amount of great mods
Yep, taken straight from the readme for it, "Compatibility: Version 1.011 should be savegame compatible with version 1.003. It is not compatible with save-games created with 1.010."
