JSGME (Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler)

Or do I need to delete those highlighted because that folder is different? I am a little confused.

Thanks for catching my oversight. Sorry for confusion. **py files from May 2010 or newer to be deleted. Post #8 date corrected.

Now since I used the TDW Generic Patcher, will there be stuff it has around that I should watch out for and not delete? Or isn't that a problem.

This is not JSGME related question at all.

Best places to look is TDW Generic Patcher thread. Snapshots (for what to watch out for or not delete) will give you a clues where to start. Look for snapshot information somewhere on Sjizzle's how to use patcher thread. Some other captains may have talked about this somewhere within the [inf] sobers mega mod.

Since I made that misstake of uninstalling the game after some years (1-2) of no play. I want to resinstall it.
As far as I see I still have the - carefully selected/andjusted - mods and JSGME in old dir (win7). Could they work if I reinstall the game just simply to the same dir again? ...or a lot changed in last 2 years about the mods and advised to reset/refresh them? I suppose, should have some updates at least.
Thanks for reply in advance!

Hi Wotan2

No, that's not gonna work. For a proper reinstall do the following.


1) Make a copy of
1a) C:\Users\Documents\SH5 folder and place it e.g. on your desktop. This is the folder where all your save games and game progress are stored
1b) C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder and save it, for example on your desktop

2) Uninstall SH5 (I use the CCleaner - free version. The CCleaner can even help you with finding all files that possibly remain on your hard drive after the uninstall

3) Delete the following folders
3a) C:\Users\Documents\SH5 folder
3b) C:\Ubisoft

4) Make sure there are no related files left on your hard drive. Sweep your hard drive registry to find possible leftovers. (Again, I use the CCleaner - free version)

5) Reboot your system

6) Install SH5

7) Reboot

8) Make sure SH5 gets properly patched - run SH5 once. SH5 should now get patched automatically and when you get to the SH5 main menu you should see v1.2.0 in top right corner.
If you don't see 1.2.0 this means SH5 didn't get patched during the reinstall.
If the automatic patching fails - run the;
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe
Then run SH5 again to check if you now see v1.2.0 in the SH5 main menu top right corner

9) Reboot your system and run SH5 to check it runs OK

10) Make a copy of the C:\Users\Documents\SH5 folder you have on your desktop (the one that we copied in point 1a) above)

11) Paste it into the C:\Users\Documents folder and let overwrite

12) Install JSGME and run it once - this should create a brand new "MODS" folder in the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 folder

13) Move whatever mods you want from the copy of the MODS folder on your desktop (the one that we copied in point 1b) above - one at a time) to this new C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder (that was created in point 12 above)

14) Activate whatever mods you want

Ready - get back to me with any questions. Anytime.

Good luck!
