I need a mentor for SH5

[JimmyS1985]

I rotate my games, and I just put this one back in the rotation. Otherwise I'm usually playing Skyrim, Company of Heroes II, Civ4: Colonization, L4D2 or GTA IV.

Heres why I shelved it several months ago.

The HUD interface sucks in this game. And even though I've sworn that I've installed a HUD mod to give me access to more crew members than just the Torpedo guy who sets the TDC, thats all I get is the Torpedo guy.

I download the mods, I put them in JGSCME, and then activate them.

So heres what I need. I need a mentor, someone who is highly skilled and can help walk me through modding the game, to get the game to a level of playability.

realism is impossible without mods, I particularly can't get the hydrophone to detect enemy ships.

Would someone be willing to "mentor" me and bring me up to speed on how I can make this game playable on realism settings?

I watch the tutorials and such. I mod most of my PC games, but this one requires such extensive modding to make it playable, I find it a real challenge compared to other games that I've modded.

If anyone is interested, my AOL IM is SuperJew113. Any fellow gamers out there, I play a broad library of games which I would be happy to help you others out on in trade for you helping me play SH5.
