Well, actually SH4 was wonderfully stable in the 1.3 and 1.4 patches. Almost all the time when the game crashed then and now was stupid mod tricks. This is where you accidentally uninstall mods out of order producing conflicts in your configuation files. Even very experienced players have had it happen. I include myself here. That's why I jumped on Doolittle's great post in an obscure thread and pressed to have it stickied here.
Actually it is much harder to mess up your game with the newest version of JSGME, which shades mods that heve been walked on by subsequently installed mods in gray. Mods which can safely be uninstalled in any order are listed in black. When you uninstall a mod that overwrites part of a previously installed mod, the mod it was overwriting turns black (if yet another mod is not still tramping on it). Mods in black are safe to remove. I've done some pretty complex setups and teardowns and had no problems with the new JSGME. Go get it and save yourself some headaches!
