What is the date on the box? If it's 2005 then you need to update it and get rid of the StarForce installation. If it's newer than that then it is fully patched and StarForce-free.

If you have another game with Starforce installed, you might as well keep it in SH3 as well. It's not SH3's SF that is a problem, but any SF on your computer. StarForce is known to sometimes decide that the DVD drive itself is corrupted and not allow the computer to read that drive.

If you buy a newer version you will have no problems with SH3 or with any other games.

In the beginning, I would like to keep things simple so what would be the first couple of mods to use and their current version?
Should I use the Gray wolf bonus download that I received?
Thanks
SH3 is solid enough to be playable with no mods at all. You might want to get a feel and taste for the stock game before trying anything else. Here is one of the several comparisons I've made over the years. They are based on the descriptions of the fans of the different mods. I haven't played them all.
