Yes, on a roll of 11+, save the game, quit, and enable the severe weather 'patch', before you start it up again. Otherwise, you will never have severe weather. The idea is to alternate with the patch and without, so you have severe weather sometimes.



For example:

I follow directions and put in the correct scene.dat file in ISP 2.15.

Then I start the game and go out on patrol. My mod list looks like this:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Special Games\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\#MODS]
RFB_2.0
RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010
RSRDC_RFB_V575
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
Fixed Zero Bomb Load RSRDC
Fixed_CD_sonar_RSRDC
Improved Ship Physics_2.15

The above gives me moderate weather. Winds at 15 m/s will produce 'rough' weather, but not really stormy.

Rolling the dice each day, I later roll a '11'. So I save the game, exit, and enable the ISP 2.15_SW_Patch. My list is now thus:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Special Games\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\#MODS]
RFB_2.0
RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010
RSRDC_RFB_V575
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
Fixed Zero Bomb Load RSRDC
Fixed_CD_sonar_RSRDC
Improved Ship Physics_2.15
ISP 2.15_SW_Patch

This will give me more severe weather, mainly at 10+ m/s winds. I continue rolling the dice every day, and when I roll a 11+, I save, exit, and disable the ISP 2.15_SW_Patch. Then my mod load goes back to the list at top. In this way, I get alternating periods of moderate and severe weather.

If you are using the TMO versions, it works the same way; only you use the "ISP 2.x_SW_Patch for TMO" mod.

I hope I explained this clearly.
