Which Mods are you using? (Gathering Data for a Potential Sticky - Please Respond!)

[SubConscious]

Greetings all,

I ordered Silent Hunter III over the weekend and I'm waiting for it to arrive. In the interim, I've managed to download a dizzying array of mods for this game: 6.5 GB, to be exact. Once the game arrives and I've had a chance to try the stock version, I'd like to start adding mods. In the interest of learning from the experiences (and mistakes) of others, I'd like to compile a frequency distribution of mod usage.

Once I have all of the data compiled, I'll post the results here. The moderators could then edit the thread to yield what I hope will be a very helpful sticky for current users and newbies alike.

So here are the big questions:

1. Which mods do you use?

2. Which mods have you tried, but deleted because of poor performance (bugs, etc.)?

3. What is your age? (I'll use this to determine if there are mod usage differences by age group)

Many thanks for your participation in this survey.

Pls note that I posted a similar thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=92885)not too long ago. The results of that thread have been, and will continue to be, forwarded to Neal Stevens for updating the d/l section of Subsim.

I'll watch this thread closely to see whether preferences have altered.

[The_Pharoah]

1.) GW 1.1a SH Commander 2.5. I've been waiting for the 1 big all-in-one mod which thankfully GW has provided (I used to use RuB and then fell out of love with SHIII - only got back into bed with it and up pops GW 1.1a!! :up:). GW + SH Commander is all you need! :)

2.) D/loaded quite a few - most of them are okay. I won't go into that tho, sorry.

Thank you very much for pointing this out. I tried several search terms to find similar threads, but managed to miss yours. If this thread generates enough interest, we'll be able to compare preferences over time. If not, I'll combine the data (eliminating duplicate posts) into one distribution.

what ever mods you choose sub, a must to have is the jones mod enabler.
its not a mod, its a program that installs mods, making things so much easier
to put the files where they belong when your modding, especially the supermods out there.
most modders are making thier mods to be installed using the jones enabler.

[stabiz]

Totally agree, the mod enabler is a gem.

2. So many I can't count... still have most of them but don't use them. Most have been superceded by or integrated into the supermods.

3. 22 - I feel so young around here

[Sailor Steve]

Currently about 40 different mods, a lot of which are superceded by the big supermods or SH3 Commander. I've used Sea files from NYGM, Campaign files from Grey Wolves, graphics mods, sound mods (my own collection plus several others), depth charge and deck gun fixit mods...

I'l try to remember to upload and bring a copy to post here, but I can't guarantee my memory will work at the right time.
