To clirify: SH3 Commander is not a mod. It does not contain a bunch of game files the you can activate with JSGME. It's a separate stand-alone program. It must be installed in its own root folder. It has patches which must be installed if you are going to use it with GWX, NYGM, or LSH. There are also mods for Commander, which must be installed in the Commander mod folder and activated separately with JSGME.
SH3 Commander is run separately before SH3. You can make changes to SH3 settings, time compression, and Commander options. You can bring up and edit your personnel file, your crew's ranks, quals, and medals. You can visit the cabaret and carouse with your mates. Then you use SH3 Commander to start SH3, and Commander makes all the changes you selected. Once in SH3, you play normally. When you exit SH3, SH3 Commander either automatically removed the changes and exits ("auto-rollback") or it restarts and gives you the option to manually roll them back.
It is a very powerful tool. Kudos to JScones!
