Why we are on the topic, I have another question about the Hsie and Stiebler hardcode fixes. I assure you that I have read the documentation for both fixes very closely.
In following the instructions, I first apply the Hsie patch by copying and pasting the original SH3.exe file into the Hsie "Patch Kit" folder and run the "Patch_SH3.bat" file. I then take the patched "SH3.exe" file and place it into the "Stiebler4B_V16B1_Revised" Patch Kit and run the "Patch_SH3.bat" file to apply Stiebler's fixes. When this is complete I I run the Option Selector and apply the fixes from both Hsie's and Stiebler's available options. When this is done I move the "SH3.exe" file into the "Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1" folder. I then make all the changes to the files provided in the "Stiebler4B_Additional_files_V16B1" file as instructed. After this is done, I move the "Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1" folder into the SH3 MODS folder and install using JSGME.
What is totally missed in this process, and never talked about in the Stiebler instructions, is what to do with the original "Supplemental to V16B1 (JSGME)" file that was included with the Hsie Patch Kit. I assume I am still supposed to install that file using JSGME as the last thing I install based on the instructions provided by Hsie. However, I notice that the files "EnvSim.act" and SH3Sim.act" are included in both the "Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1", which has already been installed using JSGME, and the "Supplemental to V16B1 (JSGME)" file provided by Hsie that is supposed to be installed last. I know the EnvSim.act is mentioned by Stiebler, so assuming I want his weather fix over Hsie, I should delete Hsie's EnvSim.act file before installing his other files using JSGME. I have no idea which SH3Sim.act file I should use, Hsie's or Steibler's. I am not even sure if I am supposed to still install Hsie's "Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)" file last or not as it kind of gets lost from Steibler's documentation along the way.
Finally, there is absolutely no mention about what to do with the "tool" folder that comes with the Hsie original Patch Kit. Do I just leave it alone?
Thanks for any help with this, and thanks for the help you have already given me. I have tried to be as specific and clear as I can be in writing this post.

hocking, you are
very clear and specific. Made it easy to respond. Thank you.
You
must activate both h.sie's and Stiebler's Supplemental Folders. If you look inside, you will see that they contain different specific files which the fixes need. Any overwrites are intentional and necessary. You might be able to remove the overwritten files, but it's easier to leave them alone. As you can tell from the documentation, h.sie and Stiebler worked closely on these and my experience is that the patchers play together without problems.
Hang onto the tool folder. It contains essential elements of the Patching Environment folder. Just keep both folders out of the JSGME Mod folder. They are both useless there. Of course, if you keep the original compressed file you downloaded, then you can always recreate whatever you need.
As I posted in my edited note, if your rig can handle 1920x1080, you might look at
Van1920x1080. It uses NYGM and Hitman's GUI, a great combination IMO. You can find it here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=213527. It was released in May.
Anything I missed? If so. please post. I prefer the NYGM supermod, and think the two patchers add a lot to the game. Hope you can get it all working the way you like without to much fuss. Good luck!
