Mods not working... Help!

[Vaux]

I just upgraded from SH4 1.4 to 1.5 last night and am trying to use TMO 2.0 with the latest Beta update. It doesn't seem to be working.

I believe it's not working due to the following: I do not see any of the added starting locations in the carreer setup menu (new construction, Midway, etc.), ship contacts still have tails, informational text and are identified friend or foe, and a bunch of other little things that I was expecting to see, based on the TMO manual, that just aren't there. I'm also still experiencing a boatload of aircraft encounters in December '41.

I'm using JSGME version 2.3.1.132. TMO 2.0 and TMO update are both listed as "Activated Mods". I've tried removing and reinstalling them to no avail.

When I upgrade to 1.5 and TMO, I started a new carreer. My old carreer save files were still out there, but I didn't use them. One other interesting note: Prior to upgrading to 1.5, the only mod I used was "Real Clothes". A few days ago, I noticed that everyone was back to wearing stock uniforms. So, the mod-not-working problem probably predates my upgrade to 1.5.

I've done the usual stuff: Reboot, clear Temp folder, scan for malware/viruses, but the problem persists. Is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot this, or should I just completely uninstall SH4 and reinstall?

This may seem stupid but check the version you're playing (in the "opening" menu). Is it version 1.4 or 1.5?

It doesn't indicate it either way, but the splash screen has changed. It used to just say Silent Hunter 4 and had a graphic of a submerged fleet boat. Now it says Silent Hunter 4 UBoat Missions and the graphic has changed to a surfaced sub with the sun in the background. Is there another way to tell if I'm actually running 1.5?

U-Boat Missions is version 1.5.

That may be your problem.

This indicates 2 things.

1. You are patched up to 1.5. :DL
2. Trigger Maru has not been enabled properly :cry:

TMO has its own intro screen. You can't miss it.
It's very different from the SH4 U Boat missions splash screen, and says Trigger Maru on it.

Check that TMO is not double foldered inside your mods folder.
EDIT: Razark beat me to it. Check the link he supplied.

Thanks, guys. I'll check the mod folder in a minute here. If that does turn out to be my problem, should I restart my carreer? (I'm only a couple days into it, so no biggie if so).

[sergei]

should I restart my carreer?

I would say yes.
Reason being you will have started it in stock.

Actually, it was even more screwed up than that.... In my noobieness, to coin a word, I had not installed JSGME or my Mod folder under under the root of the SH4 folder. I had it off somewhere else. I swear Real Clothes worked for a while, then just stopped.

Anyway, I moved my Mod folder under the root of my SH4 folder, reinstalled JSGME under the SH4 folder and I am now on TMO 2.0

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!

Edited to add a big thank you for everyone's help!
