We all started there once. Some of us have stayed there.

I purchased SH3 through Steam and was wondering if I have to manually update or does it do it automatically?
I'm not sure what you mean by update in this particular case. Please elaborate.

As I got it through Steam am I able to still install any of the mods?

If so is there instructions as to how I can do this.
Yes, but I'm not sure how, as I'm addicted to owning discs. I would make sure I kept a backup copy stored in a safe place, just in case. I do that anyway, as I've discovered that I don't have to reinstall the whole game when I mess up mods; I can just dump the Data folder and replace it with a copy of the saved stock one.

Is there an in depth manual anywhere which explains the game in more detail?
I don't think so, but you can always ask questions here. Some have said that Subsim is the best manual ever created.

I hope this isnt to long winded, and thanks for any help & advice.
Not at all. Once you get to know us you'll see what long-winded really means.

P.S How do i create a signature?
Click on 'User CP' in the upper left corner of this page. Scroll down to 'Edit Your Signature' under 'Settings & Options'. The rest should be obvious.
