I'm a pensioner, how can I get hands-on SH5
 

Hello All.

I have the SH 3-4-5, plus a few others.

My problem is I really enjoy, in particular, SH 4 and 5. A very good friend and well known Sub-Simmer, Kylania, a gentleman of all gentlemen, through teamviewer, sometime ago added the mods from here into SH5 too make it run as it should. I enjoyed it for a long time but unexpectedly
the computer crashed just recently and I've lost the mods to SH5. I have a hard copy plus a Steam copy, I use the Steam copy.

I am not computer savvy, I have the experience of an 8 year old. I can still play SH5 but without the mods. I have absolutely no idea how to add mods. My mate, Kylania, who I'm so indebted too, has a new job and is unable to find the time to assist. I really don't know where to go from here. Is there a mod that I can easily install that will clear some of the problems in SH5, and which I don't have to touch any folder or files.

Thank you all for reading this old pensioners call for help.
Jim

You've got yourself an avatar and a signature, and that computer you've got sounds pretty impressive. Maybe you are better than you think.

Put down that gold card and get ready to study up:O:. All you need to know has already been archived on this forum.

A Warm Welcome ZL2BMH To My SH5 tutorials that can be found in my signature.

You have made the wrong choice here.
You need to use your dvd copy.
The reason being that STEAM does not support the SH5 essential application TDW's Generic File Patcher (GFP).
Without this application your game will always be bugged and unplayable.

With the dvd version installed you can then use the TWOS mega mod which has full instructions and is very easy to install.
TWOS cannot be used with Steam because it uses the GFP.

This is TWOS and can be played at any difficulty level.
