I have been gone awhile - usually bounce between playing SH111 and Pacific but bought SH5 a year back never got to play it but have put in a new 2TB hard drive and loaded SH5 up. I bought the game from Gamersgate so I dont have a hard copy. Unfortunately the hard copies are still pretty expensive here in South Africa - running around $35-50 - so whereas I see in the threads the answer to one of my questions is buy a hard copy given that they can be picked up in the States for around $10 I am hoping I can find a solution to my problem through your help or advice.
I want to put in mods most importantly new UI's. If I am correct in my search on these forums a Steam copy cannot be modded. Would this apply to any downloaded copy as I cannot for the life of me get either U1-Boat5.02 or Darths to appear once I start up a campaign.
Please just double check me on my installation of JSGME. I have installed it into my root SH5 folder (in program files). I see there is also another SH5 folder in "My Documents".
So when I click open the root SH5 there is a folder in there (JSGME) and when I open this folder there is a "Mod" folder withing where the mods mentioned reside. But when I activate them and begin a new campaign I still sit with stock UI'S. I cannot see myself ever enjoying running around the boat to activate stations. In the beginning it would probably be a novelty but for me would soon wear off.
Any help or advice or must I just wait for the hard copy price to come down. At the rate our currency is going against the mighty dollar that could take for ever - price might even go up!!!!!! :)
