1. Put in a fresh install of SH4. If using steam, this will need U-Boat missions. Either way, the goal is to be at v 1.5. (the steam base game is 1.3 without U-boat, so will not work).

2. Delete the save folders. They will be in "documents > SH4 > data > cfg"

3. Extract the FOTRSU zip to a MODS folder "Silent Hunter Wolves of The Pacific > MODS." You will have to create the MODS folder. You should now have a folder called "100_FallOfTheRisingSun_UltimateEdition" inside of MODS.

4. Copy-Paste JSGME into the basic game folder "Silent Hunter Wolves of The Pacific". It should ask you if you want to use "MODS" as the place it finds mods. Yes, you do.

5. Activate JSGME in the game folder; you should FOTRSU in the list of possible mods on the left side. Activate it by selecting it and using one of the right pointing arrows. It should, after activation, be on the right side. The game is now running FOTRSU. Hooray!

6. But wait! There's More! FOTRSU chomps memory like a beast but your computer doesn't want to let it. Inside the mod is a LargeAppAware application. Run it.

Now that it's running, select the SH4 executable - that's the actual app, not the folder - in the first line (you'll have to browse, but by this time you know where your folders are). Check the little box that says you want that file to be treated as a large app. Apply.

7. Realize you don't know how a position keeper works and botch an attack on a carrier task force. This step is optional.
Thanks for the detailed help KineticDiplomat. been https://one2step.net searching for the help since today morning. Thanks again!
