Not sure if it has mods but i think there is a community made patch for the game.
multiverse edition or the unofficial patch.
Also please read the manual.

It's long but legitimately useful to get into the game's universe and gameplay mechanics instead of the usual "hurr motherfucking durrrr make sure your monitor is plugged in" shit.
As a CRPG Arcanum is very straightforward actually. Things work as you'd expect them to, for the most part, and there are no tedious bullshit like "you can't cast healing spells on Thursdays if you had a tinkle", but the correlation between the skills, stats, skill trainers, tech/magick, item bonuses and penalties, fate points, rac the manual is useful.
