That's great! However, I forgot to include one very important step:

After completing the SH4 install with or without Mods, you need to run the Large Address Aware (LAA) utility (it is in the Utility section of Downloads). THe file name is:
[TEC] Large Address Aware (32bit OS RAM Usage Fix)

I let it install to the D:\Ubisoft folder, and put a shortcut on my desktop because I also run it for SH3 and any other older game.

LAA will allow the SH4.exe program to exceed the 2GB maximum memory limit that is built into the program. It's pretty self-explanatory, as you can see from these simple steps:

First , if the SH4.exe from the game folder does not already show in the PATH box, use the ADD function to browse to your game folder and highlight the SH4.exe program.
After completing the Add, check the box in front of that line in LAA, and then from the "With Selected" command, click on the first line to force the program to be Large Address Aware.

The LAA Status should now show TRUE.

Running this will prevent CTD's and greatly enhance your SH4 experience.

Good luck, and have FUN!
