Hi folks,

I've been playing Silent Hunter 4 with TMO (with Training Wheels, because time is limited) for the past month and have been enjoying it a lot, but I recently got interested in playing Silent Hunter 5 and have a few questions about it.

I'm interested in getting the Steam version (Boxed copies are hard to come by and/or ship to where I'm from) and was planning to mod it with TWOS since that seems to be the mod that fixes a lot of the problems I've heard about that game when it launched nearly a decade ago as well as some additions to gameplay. Is the Steam version as easily moddable as Silent Hunter 4 was?

And as for the difficulty, I ran the Training Wheels version of TMO since it was appropriate for the limited time I had while also having quality of life improvements that stock were not present in SH4. Does TWOS also have the same level of difficulty options? Can I gradually scale the difficulty in TWOS as I go along?

Thanks all!
