Newish to SH4 questions about mods

[gunslinger6792]

I'm newish to silent hunter 4 and the series as a whole. That said I've played close to 60 hours on wolves of the pacific and about 3 hours on the DLC I just bought. This all stated I'm wondering what mods people here would recommend and if they could provide a short distribution of what they do. Thank you all for any information you can provide.

This is what I have at the moment.

[TMO] Tigger Maru Overhauled - Fixes many default in-game stuff, beefs up A.I., improves many things (graphics, gameplay etc.)

[RSRDC] Run Silent, Run Deep Campaign - Mainly historical stuff like historical shipping routes.

[OTC] Optical Targeting Correction - Mainly deals with visuals and scopes I think.

Traveller's Mod - Sort of like TMO, fixes a lot of things plus makes the game more challenging (e.g. start with no renown, your sub will easily take more damage than default)

If you're just getting into mods I highly recommend starting out with just TMO for now.

Thank you for the suggestions I'll look into trigger Maru.

Hi! The other big mod to consider is Real Fleet Boat, AKA RFB 2.0 is geared towards a more historically accurate simulation. It also incorporates more realistic ship physics that can be further augmented with the ISP 2.0 mod. (Improved Ship Physics).

Real Fleet Boat also has a version of Run Silent Run Deep Campaign (RSRDC)

I'm new to installing mods for SH4. I have the stock version with the 1.5 patch. after downloading the TMO Mod, where do install it? do i install it using JGME or do I install the data folder staight to the main directory? are there any requirements needed for TMO before installing?

In regard to installing the mods, I just went through the ordeal of figuring it out. I have a feeling you'll get a full picture of what to do by reading the exchanges I had with many of the skippers on this forum
