Now, I'm thinking of giving it a go again and I wonder if you would help with a couple of questions :
1) What are the best mod-packs / UI mod to use these days?
2) Years ago, the 'hydrophone fix' required tinkering with the Ini files to make it work properly.... and it was, quite frankly, a pain in the ballast. I'm not even sure I ever made it work as it should. Is this still the case?
3) How have you guys been!?  I hope all is well with everyone! any new developments? New things that I should know about as a long absent player?
Anyway, feels good to be back . Happy hunting!

Welcome back!
I remember those days with the dodgy hydrophone fixes, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Well you've come back at a great time.
You only need one mod package now, 'The Wolves of Steel' or abreviated TWoS. Its top sticky on this forum. Follow Vecko's install instructions and that's it!. No more messing with mod soup ingredients or time spent fixing rather than hunting. The hydrophone works great and has a couple of surprises thrown in so make sure you use it frequently!
There's a tool within the download that allows you to customise your game to your liking, (TheDarkWraith's OFEV) you can select lots of options one of which is a choice of UI selection and so forth. Links here on how to find it and use it in the TWoS

Give it a go, you will be impressed how far SH5 has come.....I am!
