SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Can you patch and mod SH3 if you bought it on Steam?

Good Morning All,

I couldn't get my DVD of SH3 to work on my new Windows 7 OS so I just bit the bullet and bought the game on Steam.

I wanted to install the GWX3.0 mod but I read that I need to install the 1.4b patch (for digital download instead of DVD version). I installed the patch but it wouldn't install because it couldn't find SH3. That's why I wondering if it's possible to patch a game on Steam and install the mods for the game.

If anyone knows how to fix it please let me know, and please be specific (I only just installed Steam last night and bought SH3 again... also I've never downloaded or played a game using a mod before)

Thanks for any help!
