The ability to mod a particular game depends a LOT on which version of SH IV you have and want to mod.

The most mods and the best mods are for the 1.5 version (also called Gold Edition and or U Boat Missions Add-on).

There is also an INDISPENSABLE tool called JSGME ( http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products-jsgme.html ) which will allow the mods to be added to a stock game (of whatever vintage) and keep them in order so you can "Un-Mod" the game or rearrange the order of the mods in the future.

The Un-Modding function is VERY important to return the stock game to stock. Otherwise you end up with Modder's soup ... and need to re install the game.

This board has all of the big and small mods in the down load section.

Make sure the mod is compatible with your version of the game.

Good Luck and Fair Winds...
