C:\
.... make a folder on your C:\ or D:\ drive to install SH4 into:

C:\GAMES\
.... install SH4 in here:

C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific
.... put JSGME, & its MODS folder in here where sh4.exe & Data folder are:
C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\JSGME
C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS <--- Mods go in here



C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data
C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\sh4.exe
-
The Mod should go in the MODS follder.
Its file structure should look like this:
Mod name: 'Faster Deck Gun' or whatever:
\MODS\Faster Deck Gun\
\MODS\Faster Deck Gun\Data
.... Inside the Mod's \Data folder are the folders & files that make the Mod work.

Be sure the Mod is un-zipped so it is just the Mod folder; Faster Deck Gun
Un- zip it to your desktop and drag the 'Faster Deck Gun' folder into your MODS folder.

In the 'Faster Deck Gun' folder should be a Data folder. In some rare cases the Mod is double wrapped:
\Faster Deck Gun\Faster Deck Gun\Data
If it is, just open it and drag the Faster Deck Gun (in bold above) that has the Data folder in it.


If the mod is not zipped but is a RAR or 7z archive you can get 7z for free. It will unzip Zip's, RAR's & 7z archives:

If you didn't install SH4 to a folder other than Program files(86) you should re-install or copy the entire install to a folder on the C: drive you make.

If this is a Steam install there are instructions on Peter's pages that explain how to configure SH4 on Steam:

Be sure to learn about using JSGME and make a 'Snapshot' before you install any Mods.


Hopefully you have the Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific v1.5 U-Boat Missions add-on or Gold edition.


Good luck & Happy Hunting!
