SH5 mods not "taking" on Vista 64b.
 

Hi all,

I had to format my computer over the weekend and I am having terrible issues trying to get any SH5 mods activated at all on the fresh install.

SH5 is a new install, patched to 1.2. I have started a new game, activated all the chapters by typing in the 'code' and selected happy times (this is all prior to enabling the mods btw) and started a new game, quit to Windows .

I have followed Stoianms' guide on youtube to the letter, creating a folder on desktop and extracting mods to this, then using JSGME to import the required mods, again - all steps followed 1-3 as per instructions.

I then restart SH5 and load the autosave created when starting the new game, however, the mods are not activating. No additional UI or anything. I have set JSGME to run as admin/admin + compatibility mode/compatibility mode only and uninstalled SH5 three times now.

It is very strange as I did not have this issue first time around! Any help trying to get this working would be awesome as I am now offiicially at my wits end and can think of nothing else to try! thanks all

ok lets get the basics out of the way:

have you

1 confirmed jsgme is in the main game folder and not the data or ubisoft folder?

2 have you opened all mods first to be sure you are putting the correct mod folder into jsgme?

3 did you let the game install by itself or did you try to redirect it to another location which isnt needed to be done

4 tried to copy old files or did you start with all new mod versions which is the best method?

just needed to cover the basics

Embarassingly enough, no.... Literally around 30 minutes after posting i noticed that the MODS folder was in the JSGME folder

C:/Ubisoft/sh5/Jsgme/Mods

deactivated mods, deleted jsgme, resinstalled to correct path - worked like a dream!

Thanks though, i feel a bit silly now!

hey, its usually the small simple stuff that gets us lol :O:
