Both the thread you linked and the mod listing of your own is three years old. New or returning player in 2014 finds it a little..scary to refer to three year old threads. Mods get updated with new versions, old versions disappear, compatibility issues arise and die.
I realize question original poster asks is a pretty common one. However,when it comes to keeping SH3 community vibrant and us newbloods coming in, it is, IMHO,
also by far the most important question you could possibly ask in these forums. Good, up to date answers to this question are always very valuable things to have. I'd like to think their value goes beyond fresh/returning skippers as well.
I played SH3 rather heavily around 2010 or so. I managed to assemble a pretty good, functioning mod soup. I've forgotten much of it, and some of the things I used to use have kinda stopped getting updates or lost compatibility. Or disappeared all together. Technically, I know the ropes to some degree. Yet, even I, as returning player, find the idea of modding SH3 little confusing and very indimitating. I can't even imagine how large headache it is for a brand new player in 2014. Documentation on several of the very good mods goes anywhere between hardly any- confusing -excellent. In 2014, as someone who hasn't looked into this wonderful game in few years..it feels VERY difficult to know what works great together and what doesn't. This is why having wealth of Up-to-date mod listings including up-to-date versions of this mod or that is incredibly valuable.
Imho it would be awesome to have a thread just like this one (= "List-Your-FUNCTIONING-Mod soup" ) as a sticky.
" Which mods do you use? What is your load order?" < - - For a new or returning player, can you think of better and more important questions to ask here?
So yeah, I'm in similar situation with OP. I look and see all these mods.. I wonder of compatibility and feel confused and lost;p I would really appreciate seeing some more functioning load orders.
