Are you using any other mods? If you use GWX you need to have FixAllSubsGWX installed too.

If the mod isn't changing anything check that you have correctly placed the mod within a folder called "MODS" in the SH3 root directory and that you have used JSGME to activate it. If you just place the mod in the MODS folder without activating it in JSGME then it won't show up in game.

That's odd, I have a feeling it's an obvious issue causing this. Do you have any other mods installed in the MODS folder that you know work? could you post a mod list?

If you have other mods activated through JSGME that are working then we can eliminate installation errors or issues with JSGME.

Also, what version of SH3 are you playing on? do you have a steam install or is it from disk/another platform that you have the game?

Is Manos Environments working? it should look considerably different in game than the default weather.

You're playing off a disk which means you need to manually patch the game, make sure you have installed the latest patches, this could be affecting your mods. I play on Steam and all the mods work for me on the base install, people have had issues when trying to mod SH3 from the original disk and I believe the patching process can be complex.

As another user said post a screenshot of what you see in game.

That's definitely the default sub, I can't tell if the environment is the default one, the sea looks a bit like the default one at night not Manos environments. I might be wrong though it's kind of dark.

You may need to patch the game up to version 1.4b, you should be able to find a download for it either on subsim or by searching the internet. I've always had the steam version so I'm not sure if there are any extra steps other than applying the patch.

Clearing out your savegame folder in the \user\documents\SH3\ folder can also apparently fix an issue with no mods showing if you have a lot of saves.

Sorry I'm not familiar with installing SH3 from a disk, I know people have issues getting it patched to the latest version. The only thing I can suggest is to buy it on Steam.

I'm sure there are other users who will be able to offer more helpful advice, I have seen numerous threads recently from people playing from disc who have issues maybe look in those threads?

One additional thing to check in conjunction with post #2 is to ensure that the folder structure of the enabled mods is correct. Needs to be:

Name of Mod/data/...

Make sure there's no duplicate or additional top levels.

As far as i can see from the photo, the structure of the submarine is ok, there is only a problem with the coning tower

ivanov.ruslan

02-16-21, 07:53 AM

I'm not quite sure what to do with these patches, but probably the game is already patched to 1.4

Probably no other patches are needed

Right-click on the icon and if it says 1.4, then everything is ok

Yes, this is included with the mod. From what I understand so far you're unable to get any activated mods to work. Could be an installation issue. SH3 must be installed outside of Program Files (x86) and JSGME should be installed within the main SH3 directory, generating it's own MODS folder after installation.

Sorry if you've already covered these bases, just need to eliminate things to find the problem.

Great, now we're making progress! :D

You need a 4GB patch to stabalise the heavy mods you're trying to run. This one should suffice for the time being I hope:

https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371

Just download and point it toward your SH3.exe. (you may need to give permissions, uncheck read only on the file you're patching)

See how that goes.
