A couple of fairly non-intuitive actions need to be taken - and these may vary based upon having a steam copy, a digital download, or a DVD.
How I did it:
1. Install a clean copy of SH3 in a non-protected folder (I installed to C:\SilentHunterIII-Base). NO spaces in the file path.
2. Take ownership of the entire file and folder path and ensure it is not read-only.
3. Run MultiSH3 (or SH3 Front End) to install a copy to a different folder (this is your operational copy). I have installs for NYGM, WAC5.2, GWX, and GWX with alternate flotillas. SH3 Front End will allow you to select a name for the save folder.
4. Use SH3 FE to install the 4GB patch.
5. Install GWX into that operational directory. Run once to see if it craps out or if it runs.
6. Install SH3 Commander and install the GWX mods for SH3 Commander into a MODS folder contained under the SH3C file path using JSGME. Make sure that the path to your operational copy of SH3 with GWX is identified in the settings after running SH3 Commander.
7. Start installing all of your MODs. Running the game between large MODs to make sure you don't break anything with a particular mod.
8. Go back into SH3FE to patch with hsie's fixes.
9. Stiebler's additional fixes are a manual patch job.
Couple of thoughts on your list of mods.
1. The visual sensors fix for MEP6 with GWX may need to be installed before the ARB WideGUI
2. The U-Boats compilation(s) include several other mods for a guns fix, and a FuMO fix
3. The latest version of ARB WideGUI should already include Tycho's patch. There is also a v.0.3.1 Hotfix.
4. S3H-H.sie-Patch-V16B1 should be installed after all of your other mods that affect your own u-boat or the environmentals.
5. You should definitely be using the 4GB patch if using the german u-boats compilation.
