jldjs, I'll take a shot at this.

You may need to clean out your saved folders from SH4 before expecting to have a clean install of the two mods (and patches) your using.

If you use Windows XP you'll find the saved games in your "My Documents" folder under "SH4". It will have something like this as a folder structure:

SH4/
data/
cfg/SaveGames/UPCInital/UserPlayerContext/UserPlayerContextGE

It's perfectly fine to delete the contents entirely from the SH4 Folder. When you start the game (with the two mods activated through JSGME correctly) the game will make a completely new set of files with the name of the folders above. This time with the correct files in the folders.

If you use Windows Vista you need to look for whatever name you gave yourself or the computer. Lets say it's "Jay". This "Jay" folder has your other folders like "Pictures", "Videos", "Documents" in it. Open the "Documents" folder and you'll find the "SH4" folder with the same folders named above as in Win XP. Delete these and restart the game as above.

Now, if you have a saved game point that is your favorite game spot (you took a CV down with a single deck gun shot) your going to lose it! So, just buck up and take the plunge. Having the older files cleared out should correct any problems you've encountered AND the cleared files will give you more room to keep the next saved point happy and clean.
