Actually turned out some of the errors was NYGM actually acting properly, (when before it hadn't!) but I digress. 
I'd still contact Ubisoft and get a pristine install image again, or just go out and buy the game locally or online. It's $19.82 at Wal Mart, and $18 something at Amazon and Office Depot of all places. Some online retailers at Amazon even have it as low as $9.75! |
I've only ever installed mods using JSGME so hopefully that won't be a problem. I did research that before dipping my toes in the mod-waters.
I might just re-buy a copy. Although I instinctively balk at that idea for two reasons: one being I hate paying for something twice
and the other is that, up to now, I haven't ever seemed to suffer from a particular problem so many others have with installing the game due to 'accessory' :hmm: software bundled with it. I guess part of me is worried that starting from scratch again might be asking for trouble.
Still, there is a lot to be said for that I suppose. SHIII has been, so far, my first ever pc game. And along with that my first ever reason to explore online and find nice places like here
to chat and talk with like-minded people, and slowly learning about mods to start with, and how to use them correctly. So, needless to say, it's been a somewhat jerky and rough start for me this last few months, and wiping the drive and starting a-fresh probably wouldn't hurt. I'd just want to make sure I back-up all the mod install programs first so I don't wind up having to d/l and decompress 'em all over again.
