vanilla

vanilla civ is a reference to the origional, un-modded, version of the game, even with the patch.

I guess because vanilla is the origional flavor or something. No idea how that term started, but thats my guess.
 
vanilla isn't a mod, its the origional game without any addons other than the patch, so yea if you are doing the HOF mod or the SevoMod for example you aren't doing vanilla civ.

more probably b/c it's very plain.
 
I think it's because most people like vanilla ice cream, so "vanilla" came to mean "ordinary," which eventually evolved into "plain."
