Hi Blacklight ive sent you a PM with download link to SH3 from my mediafire site the SH3 Download is already patched to 1.4 all you need to do is unpackit with 7zip place the SH3 Folder outside program files X86 and then play a single mission like the Happy Time then SH3 will make a SH3 Folder in your documents for all your carrer saves.
My SH3 is from this install already patched to 1.4 then i zipped it up with 7zip and uploaded it to my mediafire site its been downloaded a lot
Then Mod as you see fit
The SH3 Zipped Folder is 1.27gig if you dont have enough room on drive C:/ downloads then uninstall other programes on drive C that you have the dvd so you can reinstall them on drive D then once SH3 is downloaded move that zipped SH3 Folder to drive D unpack in and your up and running
Another option i send you a SH3 Copy on DVD that gives you the option to install it where you like i live in England DVD should take 3 weeks to get to your side of the duck pond pm your home address and ill post you the sh3 dvd
Happy Hunting
