@ JerryB - let me know which ones you're having trouble finding and I'll find you some links. As BigBangTheory says, some of them are optional add-on mods contained within larger modpacks - for example Dynamic Environment 'Realistic Waves' is part of the main Dynamic Environment mod and can be found in DE's 'optional mods' folder.

BBT is also right to say the modlist doesn't always tell the full story - my version of Stormy's DBSM is blended with bits of Capthelm's Audio Mod, for example, and my Grossdeucher Rundfunk also has other radio stations from another mod manually coded in. This kinda stuff can wait though - it's only by playing around with the files that simple edits like this become possible, so start with the easy stuff first.

Re: the CTDs... well to be honest, I get them too on occasion. There's speculation that some of the new ships in Open Horizons II are causing CTDs and I'm sure Trevally is working on a fix. Sober also posted that deleting the contents of your Ubi Launcher cache can solve some CTDs as well:

If you're really getting a LOT of CTDs then it could be a problem with your mod-install order - some files conflict, some overwrite and it can become a mess very quickly. Attempting to install lots of mods at once can also cause trouble - if, at any point during the installation JSGME freezes and says 'not responding' at the top, let it finish, then remove the mod and add it again until that message doesn't appear. The vast majority of mods should only be enabled in Port, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Post your exact list from JSGME (go tasks/export to clipboard) and we can have a look and see if there's anything glaringly obvious. There's also a debug viewer included in Magnum Opus (at least I think its MO, TDW will correct me if I'm wrong) that you can run in the background - then you can post the log of the crash and see if one of the more technical chaps can help.


@ BBT - the thought of another reinstall gives me the shudders, as it took me a fair while to get my modsoup tasting right. I could probably write up a Win 7 install & mod instruction from memory and if I miss bits or get it wrong the Kaleuns here could correct me... It would have to be fairly basic, as mods change so frequently that making specific references to any one mod would end up out of date quite fast, so it'd just be a game-install and JSGME install/instructions for use. Would that still be useful?

Edit: Oh, and cheers for the kind words re the review to you both!
