Thinking of getting SH5

Javigato · 01-20-12, 09:58 AM

Now that the price is down, no online required, I'd like to get it... but to be honest, after reading all the MODS that would be needed to make it run OK makes me kinda lazy... How much time more or less is needed to get up all the mods and start playing? and is it worth it? Some of the lists I see here of mods is daunting and overwhelming!!!

The general concensus among those who play it is that it is well worth it.

I had Sh5 in the box for about a year My old rig could noy handle the game .. Or I was just to disappointed to try .. But now Iam enjoying Sh5 crazily .. There is alot of mods that make the game great .. Iam still refining my likes and dialikes .. I encouarge you to watch this video . because this si exactly How I want to play Sh5 .. And I belive that this wahy is the best .. Its boring to go ou on patrol ans have atactical advantage becuase you are playing on other settings other than 100%

What Sailor Steve said, Javigato.

Do check out that thread and also make sure to check out the link in there to Trevally's "beginner mod suggestions" thread.

You don't actually have to load up all that many mods to "fix" the game, TheDarkWraith's new UI mod will pretty much take care of any major issues and give you a lot to play with on top of that, but I think that, once you try that one and take your boat for a spin, you'll find yourself cooking up mod soups like the rest of us.

Anyway, your mileage may vary. Just don't be daunted by the mile long mod lists that some of us use, quite a few of them are merely fixes to uniforms, sounds, immersion, environment etc. that, while certainly worth it to add, aren't critical as such. You can always add more later and, with JSGME, even that's as easy as 1-2-3.

Plus, if you hit a stumbling block, you can always count on this community to help you out.

Well, there are alos people like the TDW or SOBER or TREVALLY which are really helpful guys that can help you choose a mod loadout, but hey bro.....you know you're gonna have to put some effort in it.
It took me about 6 months of fiddling around to get things to where they are now but the point is I learned something new and I am loving it

The rewards are more than worth it plus all of the mods get updates which makes the game even more realistic and stunning.
