Your quite right Reece...since the recent introduction of a few large sized mods, when enabled in addition to a multitude of earlier smaller mods it now looks like SH3 has reached the limit of its capabilities on 32 bit systems.

Players are now faced with one of two choices:

1. Prioritise what mods are most important and continue playing with your preffered but slightly limited choice on the 32 bit system.

2. Upgrade to 64 bit system and continue as before.

Hobsons choice I suspect because many will not be able to upgrade for a variety of reasons.
