Circle of Eight patches the problems with ToEE nicely, and also unlocks the amusing whorehouse location. There used to be other patches and mods, but Circle of Eight continued to improve their patch/mod. Version 8.0 is the newest one, so try to use that. I also vaguely remember that you will want to go to the options screen and disable autosave and also avoid using quicksave. Circle of Eight also gives you some other nice options, like stopping the NPCs from looting, and giving yourself maximum hit points or a maximum of eight fully controllable player characters in your party.

I vaguely remember a Moebius patch and maybe a Lavinia patch, and that Lavinia one really made the traps nastier and the opposition smarter. And there was some weirdness about certain subplots advancing if the players did or didn't do certain things. I'm currently playing through the Lavinia modded version that also works with an earlier version of Circle of Eight, and then I plan to install the current version of Circle of Eight on a different computer that I own, to try to play all the way through to 20th level.

Is the patch a "fix" like the fan patch for VtM is, or is it an improved version of the game?

Troika developed amazing, and sadly always flawed, games. I was sad when they closed down. If I recall, Valve had a lot to do with their demise. Vampire was the first Source engine license, and it was done before Half-Life 2. They were not allowed to release the game, and went broke waiting.

The original Circle of Eight patch was mostly just a patch, but it also unlocked the brothel and maybe a little other content that was created for the game but left out of the final release. Later versions of Circle of Eight added content, like restocking one of the dungeons later in the game. Recent versions of Circle of Eight apparently added even more content, extending the game significantly. Originally, you were playing a D&D adventure for characters of 1st through 10th level. Now you can apparently play characters that start at 1st level and make it all the way to 20th level.

Half a lifetime ago, I ran the original first edition AD&D Temple of Elemental Evil adventure for my gaming group, so I knew the adventure in a general way when I first started playing the computer version. This new content beyond 10th level is exciting for me, because I have absolutely no advance knowledge of what could happen.
