Thanks for the answers so far.
I've bumped this thread now because i wanted to ask if anyone is using SH3 Mini Tweaker Tool?
If so, can they answer me please a few questions.
I used to be able to run SH3 and GWX3, along with a big list of mods enabled via JSGME very successfully, along with heavily-tweaked .zon and .sim files via this tool.
Now what i've found is that when i fire up SH3 with GWX3 without tweaked files via this tool i can most often boot up the game fine.
However, as soon as i tweak for eg the ai sensors file and gun sub sim zon file, along with shells zon file, the game will load to the career screen and ctd when loading a new career. Loading a new career is necessary i remember so that the newly-tweaked files 'stick'.
Now, i am NOT tweaking the files to insane amounts, then i would understand that the game would ctd.
I've read instructions for using the tweaker utility, also ensuring that everything is installed correctly etc.
Upon tweaking a file it creates a copy of that tweaked file in the same directory, ie the data/library folder where the files relevant to the tweaks are stored in the game directory.
Does this tool actually work with GWX3 installed? I am soon trying to tweak files in a completely unmodded, w/o GWX3 upgraded v1.4 game, to see if it works that way.
I can't for the life of me remember how i used to play the game with the files tweaked so much. Also which file do i copy to another directory? Is it the copied file that the tweaker tool creates of that tweaked file? Or.
Because in the instructions i've read the game sometimes might use the 'original' file, ie not using the new values tweaked with the tool?
Can someone that uses or has used the tool extensively shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Just fired up a totally unmodded SH3 with some tweaked files, guns sub sim, shells.zon and bombs.zon and no ctd! So does that mean that tweaking files via the aforementioned tool with mods loaded and gwx3 ctd? Seems so. I just could have sworn that i had gwx running and also tweaked zon files etc ages ago
