Yes you have to follow the install instructions to the letter.

The one's included in Dragon's version I found to be a little clearer. Here is what he includes in his pack on a word doc. for installing his mod. They are very similar to the standard WoS mod and may be a little clearer for you. Once you have done the patcher once it really is easy to use. Full credit to TDW for this excellent tool.

All credit goes to Dragon for these well written instructions.......hope they help you out a little. Persevere, it really is worth the trouble as they are awesome mod packs.

Game Installation:

- Install Silent Hunter 5

- Install Silent Hunter 5 Patch 1.0.2eu

- Make a Backup-Copy of the installation path. If something goes wrong you do not need to reinstall SH5 again.


Preparation:

- Unzip JS Generic Mod Enabler and copy the files into the installation path of SH5. The MODS folder have to be in the same path as the SH5.exe is located. (Do not create a specific folder)

- Copy all Mods (maintain the folder structure) into the MODS folder.

- Open: My Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg and replace following parts:

[TIME COMPRESSION]
; The first value is the default one, the second value is used when 'travel mode' is activated.
; The two values should be separated by a comma.
; If only one value is specified, that value is used for both default and travel mode.
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=1,256
CriticalDamage=1,256
CrewEfficiency=128
AirEnemyDetected=1

Hints:

- You should run Uplay in offline mode and disable the upload of the save games into the cloud. Else the save games get damaged and you get crashes by trying to load them.

- Included in the mod paket are three UI types:
- SH5 Enhanced (default)

- SH3 Style
- You can change them by using the OptionsFileEditorViewer(\data\Applications\Options FileEditorViewer) open the tab "UI" and change the values.
