Believe me when I tell you that I wouldn't be bothering you folks if I had any other choice, but I simply don't have the time to mess around with this stuff like I used to and I miss those days so badly that I'm asking for your help.

I'm confused by what the mega mods are, the sticky threads aren't very descriptive, and I just can't figure out which GUI mods go on what, how, why, my brain is fried at this point after trying to push myself to figure this out before I have to go back to work.


Here are the most important things I want out of SH3 now:

MagUI (I LOVED using this in the old days, with the giant compass to set my heading with (was there an even bigger one that popped out from the right? Is that a separate mod?), the nice shiny tdc dials, etc etc can't live without it).
Attack disc, giant map tool compass rose, etc.

Highest resolution I can have with MagUI (my screen is 3440x1440, 21:9... can lower it to make the game playable in windowed mode if I must).

Lots of hotkeys... big screen means big mouse travel distance... lol.

Stability over everything else.

The option to have ALL subs, equipment, weapons, torpedoes, etc available to me to use all the way through the campaign OR...

If that is not possible then at least give me unlimited renown (or whatever it is, been years since I played) so I can purchase whatever I want as soon as it becomes available (can I just edit my save?).

All the eye candy that can be mustered while keeping stability. My computer will laugh at any attempt to slow it down. I understand the same can't be said about the game itself however.

Realistic handling of the sub like in SH5 TWoS would be nice. I tried SH5 TWoS and I like it, but I really like the Type XXI more...



So if you want to waste your time doing my work for me I would really appreciate it.

But if it's all too much... I could at least just run GWX with MagUI, but I still haven't figured out how to get the game to run with a higher resolution than 1024x768.
Is 3, that come to mind, off hand...

1. Fifi's enhanced NYGM

This, is in a 1920x1080 rez scale. Is pretty well put together, all that is needed, is to unzip... place the folder for it any where you want to, just (& this applies to all the others I'll mention here, as well... ) just avoid placing it in either of Windows UAC terror-tories of \Program files or \Program files (x86).

Can be found here:

2. OneAlex's GWX reworx SH3

As with mentioned above... this is all ready to roll with, after unzipping. Will be a few optional add in mods to decide if you want to use them or not... if you chose to, then all that is needed, is to use JSGME, to activate them.

This, is the latest version... v1.52

Can be found, here:

3. ToyotaGT86's GWX SH3 reworx

This one, is a bit more... 1 where you have to do most of the work yourself to set up... do have to say, it is fairly good... not sure what the status is, on updates as it goes... though. (1 is being updated & is slated to have the latest update, released sometime in the next... mhmmm... 4-7 days, time frame... 2, last I heard, was being worked on an update to v1.53, but... know that the main modder behind it, is located in the Ukraine.. & unless you've been squirreled away in a basement, under a rock... well... you know, just what the... situation is there, ongoing. )

While this 1... needs some TLC, in setting up... it is relatively... not too difficult to follow along on the instructions...



Hope this info, helps...
