"So the structure reads as follows there:
C: \ Games \ Silent-Hunter \ SH4-Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Silent Hunters wolves of the pacific. Ok, from there, I created in \ common
a folder named to what flavor mod I want to run with, for this ex. I'll run with the mod Operation Monsun: Enhanced."
Now I understand that in your first advice you have a MODDED version in
1) C: \ Games
and in your second advice you have a MODDED version in
2) C: \ Games \ Silent-Hunter \ SH4-Steam \ steamapps \ common
Am I getting it wrong?

Ok, this is how your ''unmodded'' straight vanilla copy of SH4 should be looking like, after you install it & run it... 1 time, Vasily... 1 time only, if you please. (I know.. cheesy corny Hunt for Red October pun..
, BUT.. this holds true. See below:
C: \ Games \ Silent-Hunter \ SH4-Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Silent Hunters wolves of the pacific
You need to run the unmodded SH4, as this version, will become your boiler plate base copy or Master copy if you will... to use to make all other copies to mod, according to the mega mod you want to do.
After downloading, installing & running that.. again, 1 time only, go into your documents folder & delete the SH4 game save folder. Then, back into \common & create the folder for the mega mod name you are going to use. Once this is done, then go into the master copy of SH4, use cntrl+a & copy the guts of the game then copy paste the guts into that folder which should look as follows:
C: \ Games \ Silent-Hunter \ SH4-Steam \ steamapps \ common \Operation-Monsun: Dark-Waters
After this (there is NO need to run SH4 here, since that was done with the Master copy already, you are now ready to begin...
Into your Operation-Monsun folder (or FotRS-U-EN, if you decide to go with that 1 instead), & place a copy of JSGME, run this, allowing it to create a 'MODS' folder in there as well. That folder is of course, where you will place the mods associated for running SH4 modded to that mega (as well as any other mods to enhance it, by the way)
mod this accordingly. The rest of My guide is correct & can follow it from this point.
Side note:
I shall go back & reread the guide & if there was an error in it that led to your confusion, I shall indeed correct said error/s...
Hope this clears up the confusion.
