Hi,
Noticed lately more and more people lost in the huge mods world of SH5, and complaining about CTDs or other issues when activating this or that mod list...

+ latest TDW generic patcher, activated as a stand alone
Those 3 examples are running without any CTD of any kind,
IF activated in the above order, and
IF playing no more than X512 TC.
(X256 for real nav!)
90% of those mods are from Sober Megamod (and the activating order too) and i thanks him for this compilation wich helped me greatly.
Volodya also helped kindly in my SH5 experience as well as Gap, Trevally and others
But if you encounter unsolvable issue trying his Megamod, it might be worth a try giving a shot at the above
Hope that could help.
