I run Schliechfahrt with Magui without problems. I use the this modlist:

sobers game loading tips V4 SH5
Schleichfahrt_1_0a_part1 (STOCK KBD)
Parts Magui V 3.01 by DrJones
Schleichfahrt_1_0h_part2
IO_StrategicMap_4_3_for_Parts Magui V 3.0 by DrJones

EQuaTool 01.01 by AvM - add-on - Large Style Ruler
EQuaTool 01.01 by AvM - add-on - Coloured Simple Tools
Fix clock rear torpedo room VIIA
SH5_7A_Conning_Fix
Accurate German Flags
Fuel Gauge WoGaDi_SteelViking's Interior
MCCD_1.04_MFCM_1.2.1_compatible
German U-Boat Crew Language Pack
Grossdeutscher Rundfunk
Messervy_s_gramophone_pack1
Speech Recognition_MiTons_v0.4_english for Magui
TDW_GenericPatcher_v1_0_79_0

I also run Schliechfahrt with TDW's New_UIs. In both cases, I put only the UI mod itself inside the "Schliechfahrt sandwich." I put all add-ons to the UI mod after Schliechfahrt part 2. I may have picked up this tip from someone on this forum. (If so, thank you and I wish I could remember who you are and give you credit!) In any case, it works.

Another tip: I run both Schliechfahrt modpacks at reduced graphic quality. I have a middle-weight machine and it can't handle the load. I have not tried to find the optimum setting. I just strap everything down to the minimum. To my (perhaps uncritical) eye, it still looks pretty good! YMMV. I set the SH5 graphics options to the "Low" setting, except for AA, which I turn up full. I set my graphics card settings all to "application-controlled." And on the Compatibility tab of the Windows 7 Properties dialog, I check "Disable visual themes" and "Disable desktop composition."

This reduced graphics quality may not suit everyone. But, as I said, it looks good to me and I can play the game without CTDs. If you try this approach and it works, you can always improve the graphics quality incrementally to achieve your own balance of appearance and stability.

Hope these suggestions are useful. Best of luck!
