When I proceed to activate Webster's underwater visability for v1.5, I get, warning "read me.txt" has already been altered by "Websters sub draft fix for v1.4 and v1.5" :oops: which I already have activated. Should I activate it or not? :hmmm:

Some modders forget to rename their readme file for each individual mod. Perhaps the other read me.txt has other important information you may need in the future. Webster's mods are great besides his advice. Have you used his Game Fixes Only Mod, too?

Make sure the Webster's underwater visability mod is not enabled. Go to the folder where the Webster's underwater visability readme file is. Rename the file read me.txt to Webster's underwater visability read me.txt. Enable Webster's underwater visability read me.txt.

You can use this example for future mods, too.

Don't bother. The warning only affects what happens inside JSGME. It doesn't touch the actual files in the folders. The readmes are unaffected, and you can't read them inside the game anyway, only by opening the file.

Anyway, you should have a safe place in another part of your computer where you keep backups of all your files. That way if you delete the game and forget to remove the MODS folder you don't have to run all over the 'net looking for all the mods you lost.

Once again, thank you Sailor Steve.
