What Mods are you guys using?
 

I recently came back after trying forever to enjoy SH5, I tried EVERYSINGLE mod on SH5 and nothing worked.

After being in such Shock here with good ol' SH3 I installed a few mods, but I want to make sure I am getting the best I can with this game.

So far I have GWX Gold commander and some other mods

Lifeboats and debris v4
longer repair times 2.04
thomsen's Sound Pack v3.2
ManosEvironmentpro V3


Thats it.. What mods do you guys have?
I want to make sure I am getting the most out of this GEM!

THANKS ALL!

Here is mine at the moment. I should warn that I have 8GB ram and use the 4GB switch just to make this setup run, otherwise it crashes to desktop.

A couple of these are very minor mods I did myself, a couple are combinations of two or more things that I combined for compatibility's sake or so I could enable a mod together with all the desired options/fixes for it in one fell swoop instead of enabling them all separately.

Again? Seems like I do this at least once a month.

Are there any majority-agreed core, or essential, GWX3 mods?

I feel so small. :o

GWX 3.0 Gold
GWX - Alternate Load Screen - Full Circle
GWX - Main movie - "Bas Boot"
Alt Msg Font Typewriter
GWX - Enhanced Damage Effects
GWX - No medals on crew
ACM-GUI Reloaded - h.sie's Edition V1.15
ACM-GUI Type IX Salvo Selector
ACM-GUI DepthCharge-Shake V1.8

Aside from Commander (I know, not really a mod, but still) I can't ever see not using Mission Orders Lite. Or Integrated Orders. In fact I don't use any mod that interferes with the commands.cfg files unless I can make it compatible with IO with a manual edit. That plus something that gets the rank/medals off the clothes and preferably puts the crew in more casual and realistic attire. And an environmental mod with at least a 16k atmo, with those it's kind of a toss-up depending on mood. But I wouldn't want to go back to the 8km atmo.

OK, so after some extensive analysis using a representative sample size of GWX players (OK, so four responses means a sampling error of around +/-50%, lol), I have concluded that that over 75% of players use the following mods:

LifeBoats&Debris_v4
Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3
SH-5 Water for GWX 3.0 V0.9 Atlantic campaign
Torpedo damage Final
GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units V4
Pascal_Port_People

To be fair, SH Commander can technically modify files, and alter your U-Boat name, wind, gun reload, etc... I suppose that makes it a mod.

I'd use Mission Orders Lite myself, but I still haven't completed a full campaign, so I want to see everything. Once that's done, it will probably be at the top of my list, so I can end the suffering.

:haha: :yeah:

JScones,

The long awaited Merchant_Fleet_Mod_3.2 adds alot of really good looking merchant ships to the sim.

The latest version of GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units V4 is GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V6, and it is worth the upgrade.

:salute:

Sigh, I'm positive it's awesome but when I try it I get a crash on loading unless I pare it down to the bare minimum (lite harbour traffic, etc.).

I remember someone saying I would have problems with V4 if I tried to play it past a certain date (somewheres in 1943?) but I hate sailing in and out of a mostly empty harbor. I guess if I ever survive until the point where the earlier version may become problematic I'll have to switch over and start all my patrols at sea so I don't know what I'm missing and hope that doesn't bork up my existing career.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate this! I am trying to look for some of the mods you guys listed, I sort the list by downloads figuring they must be popular, but I'm probably wrong? Either way I am not finding many of the ones listed?

Are they all on the download page?

Is there a thread for this mod.."SH-5 Water for GWX 3.0 V0.9 20 Km Atlantic campaign (default)"

I would like to see what this is exactly.. Thanks
