Hello, I have recently returned to SH4 after a layoff of many years. Hoping to find a good mega mod that might have improved the original game, I came across TMO and the RSRD campaign. I downloaded and enabled both with JGME. However, I'm concerned it might not have been successful, and I don't see anything in-game that suggests it's anything other than vanilla. No splash screen or obvious UI improvements, no credits or anything else referring to either mod. Many screen shots I've seen show a different UI with red-lighted buttons, etc, but I don't see that in-game.

Can someone tell me one specific irrefutable thing I could look for in-game that would guarantee one way or the other whether the mods are beings used or not?

If I remember correctly, TMO ought to change the name of the credits tab in the main menu to TMO or Trigger Maru Overhaul *insert version here*. If my memory fails me there I know the main menu pictures are changed to photographs from WWII instead of the default in game footage and portraits.

Which version of SH4 do you have? Where do you have the JSGME executible? Where is your "Mod" folder?
