If you browse through the threads on SH345 forums, you will notice that at least 4 out of 5 OPs asking for help with modding problems are using the Steam version. There are also workarounds for almost all of these problems, but the Steam version of SH345 requires special handling. Desertstriker has even made a set of tutorials for setting up mods for SH3. Since the publisher's version of SH345 has none of these problems and can be purchased by download or on DVD for under $10 ($5 if you catch a special sale), you might want to spend a few extra bucks and simplify your life.
