New to mods

NordicLion · 12-18-17, 11:50 AM

Hello, I would like to mod sh5, I played SH3 for a few years ago, then I bought both SH4 and 5 on Steam. I'd like to get some help on what mods I should get, and also how I can see if they're enabled and actually working. And remember I have the STEAM version. I have already put Mod enabler into the SH4 folder which made the MODS folder pop up, I put the mods in the JSGME thingy, turned them to the "Enable" part, some mods turn light grey and I get warning messages about certain files overwriting other mods' files and blablabla, and when I play the game, it crashes after a while and I have no idea if the mods actually work either. So please help me.

Compatible mods?
How to mod the correct way?
How I see if they work?

Irrespective of what mods to use and how they work you have a big problem beacause the essential application TDW's Generic File Patcher is not compatible with STEAM.

The only way around this problem:
Steam conversion:

Other type of Download or Dvd.
The game is broken and so to play SH5 successfully you need to be able to use a mega mod like The Wolves of Steel.

I did what it said, but now when I start sh5.exe, there are 4 dll files missing,what now?

Hi NL
No one has ever reported that problem before.
Try again with a clean Steam install.
Use a registry cleaner first before re-installing.

kernel.dll
