I can't be bothered to do that this time, so I'll wait until the game is patched as much as it's going to be and then I'll add mods as needed.

Uhm, why not use JSGME? Install/deinstall mods with a simple mouseclick.
A brilliant piece of software. |
True, but not all mods can be installed with JSGME, some do need you to backup original files and mess with the configs. I mostly avoid those for obvious reasons. However, I still believe that when the patch comes out it will be best to do a clean install and then apply the patch, so it won't matter if you have messed with configs anyway.
Just be sure to save your music and radio files outside the directory if you've played with them at all. |
ALL mods can be managed with JSGME. If a Mod I want to use is not JSGME ready, I repackage it so it is.
The only issue is when one MOD tinkers with the same file(s) that another MOD has already tinkered with. Menu_1024_768.ini is famous for this.
The only solution in those instances is to either figure out which tweak you
want, or merge the changes into one single file in a seperate MOD.
I backed up my SH4 1.1 directory to DVD (without the Movie files), so I can always easily get back to stock if something gets mucked up.
