In the Silent Hunter 4 directory we all have
Data\* (this is the modable portion of the game)
MODS\* (we all created this one - JSGME will create if it does not exist)
JSGME.EXE (we all downloaded this and put it here)
JSGME.EXE is the program that manages and installs mods
Everything is relative.
Data\everythingthegameusesgoessomewhereunderdata\*
MODS\weputallourmodpacksundermods\*
If a MOD changes Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg then it is packaged as
MyUooberMod1.1\Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg
and placed in MODS so you have
MODS\MyUooberMod1.1\Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg
MODS\SomeOtherMOD\Data\otherfiles*
When you use JSGME to Install "MyUooberMod1.1",
MODS\MyUooberMod1.1\Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg
is copied to Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg
(after the original is backed up).
So, the mod is now active the next time you play.
Using JSGME, you can then later uninstall the mod.

Hope this helps.
