...it would appear that some have little or no problems with SH5 after the mod installs.
it would also appear that that some if not a lot, including myself, struggle with it for various reasons - time and patience are two I can think of.
the best thing to do is give it a go with whatever mods are suggested by those who have made them and experimented with them. then you will know. I salute the modders here at SH5, by the way!
in time all will settle down, I believe, and it will run smoothly for the majority and it will be a great sim with a long life in front of it.
I'm looking forward to this day. I have the disc in a box waiting, just don't have the time and patience any more to experiment and finally get it right.
