I feel you Deadmode. SH3 is rather tricky to mod and therebster's signature holds a lot of information but his pointers are not very specific.

Personally I play with the LSH3 supermod geared towards maximum realism. I would really love to try some other mods but you have to accept the fact that some mods just are not compatible. Some combinations will break your game completely, others will just make it a crazy parallel universe and some are compatible (like certain mod missions, but they will break your careers).

It is what it is. I haven't tried your specific combination but I have been "around the block" a few times in terms of SH3 mods.

Here's what I'd do:

Uninstall SH3 and any and all mods.
Registry clean your machine.
Reboot
Re-install SH3 via steam
Zip that directory into a zip-archive
Uninstall SH3 via steam
Clean the registry
Reboot
Create
Code:
```
c:/games/
```
Create
Code:
```
c:/games/sh3-gwx-xyz
```
and other directories for specific SH3 installation, create several if you want to try out incompatible mod combinations
unzip clean steam installs of SH3 into above sh3 directories from the zip you created from the clean steam install
Compile a list of super and minor mods you want to run
Research their compatibility to the best of yours and subsim's knowledge, dig out old threads if necessary, or ask in the respective (super)mod's thread
Once ready, download the mods
Unzip/Unrar them where applicable
Study their documentation
Install them in the order that makes most sense with respect to the researched information. SOME MODS REACT VERY SENSITIVELY TO ACTIVATION ORDER even if they are superficially compatible
Where applicable activate them with JGSME
Activate one mod at a time and check compatibility
Experiment with mods before you start a serious career
And don't play around with mods / patches once you're happy with your setup and in a serious campaign.

Good luck and hopefully someone with more GWX / ARB experience chimes in.
