I have the stock Silent Hunter III 1.4 installation at the ready. I also have the GWX installer, as well as the LifeBoats&Debris_v4 and Stiebler h.sie mod at the ready. As my installation currently stands, I have SH3 installed with GWX, LBD_v4 and SH3 Commander mods applied without issue. I want to install the Stiebler4C_V16B1 mod as well, but reading the documentation states that I have to install on a clean version of SH3.
My thoughts are as follows:
1) Install stock SH3
2) Install Stiebler4C_V16B1 with the HsieOptionsSelector
3) Install Grey Wolves Gold 3.0
4) Install SH3 Commander with the configuration file tune installed afterward
I ran this by a friend of mine and he agrees that it seems like a viable installation process for the supermods and mods. I am not at risk of losing any career information since I'm starting anew after a failed assault on Loch Ewe (43 men dead, boat lost in action), so deleting what I already have is no issue. If anybody has any input on a proper installation sequence, I would be greatly appreciative of your input and advice!

In general, you want to install the Hsie and Stiebler patches last. You want their file work to be untouched by other mods. Some NYGM files are ok after them, but in general per above, unless one wants to do some editing of any conflicting files between these mods and others.
There is no problem with installing other mods before them in terms of affecting the Hsie/Stiebler patches; the last mod rules them all.
But even that may require some file editing to make the mods before these patches work. All depends what you want to use.
I take it you want to have GWX as your megamod choice ? If so, download Stiebler's patch all ready edited for GWX here, go to the folder with his name:

Also, per your post, looks like you want to install the Stiebler patch without the Hsie patch. You must install the Hsie patch too if you want to have the Stiebler patch.
I.e. per you list, install this way:
1. Stock SH3, patched to 1.4
2. Install GWX
3. Install Hsie patch
4. Install Stiebler patch.
SH3 Commander is a separate install of it's own. Hope this helps.
