Going in for the first time. Advice?

I got the mod, I already played for a lil bit, and a few spooky things have happened, but not too much yet.

I turned off the VHS effect, random jumpscares (I hate jumpscares -_-), and the ability to be banned from my world. I also turned on the programmer art texture pack for a more classic feel.

Is there anything I should do, or keep in mind, before things get more intense?
