New to SH4 and it's mod's

[fvd]

Hi guys,

I always played SH3, from the day it was released here...
Since i've ordered a new pc (arriving next week) and bought the game today:D i can start playing next week.
Now i was wondering which of the following mod's i should / should not use or which of these are likely to give conflicts with other mod's?
Or perhaps there are mod's that are already been "absorbed" by other newer mod's?
Anyway, your advice is really appreciated!

Here are some mod's i found on this forum:

Trigger_Maru_1.6
NaturalSinkingMechanics
Reflection's on the water
Captain Midinght's MORE CBS NEWS
SH4_Ultimate_Soundmod
SMALLER_SEA_BED_ROCKS
Realistic battery life
Remove_grainy_effect
Real fleet boat 1.28 (is this good?)
greenlamp (this is the only one i've read about but was not able to find to download...)

Thanks very much already and good hunting,
fvd

All your listed mods are very good. I recommend playing without any at first to see what you have. Start loading mods to see what it has become!

or your activated mod list will look like this

and that doesn't even really tell the tale since several of those are combined mods :rotfl:

Seriously, the following is excellent advice

Some notes about your list:

Whatever you do, make sure to patch the game to version 1.3 before you play.

RFB and TM cannot both be used at the same time
Reflection's on the water includes NaturalSinking Mechanics

If you are into eye candy, you will definitely want to look into some of the interface mods like OakGroove's Retextured Orders bar gauges, Jaketoox's MetalHud and Stowa Kriegsmarine deck watch . Speaking of eye candy, don't forget about the desk pictures.

If you like radio mods there are several good ones (one of which you already have listed). If you really like radio mods and anticipate having a lot of radio stations, take a look at the RadioStationManager.

And you can't do mods without JSGME.

Once you have a handle on what you like and don't like about the game in stock format, visit http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=118945 and read the mods that look interesting. After a while you'll be as moddicted as I am.
