a question with the mods is sh5 playable ?

modded up SH5 is very playable. Quite excellent really, so long as you have some patience. But that is already a quality any good u-boat skipper needs to have

Thanks to these awesomely dedicated, talented, and friendly nerds here at Subsim, the game is really great, in spite of being released what was basically an alpha-state.

If you follow the process meticulously, you won't regret about the time spent on it

Hi,
I'm also going through the process of gathering all the "Sober's Mega Mod" files. Going to give SH V another go as I got fed up with the constant crashes with other Mod soup configs.
Wish me luck as it seems like a lot of work.

Got a better PC now so hopefully it will help.
Cheers

Hi LNER1,

It seems like more work than it is, really. It is only really a lot of work if you decide (like I did) to venture out and try adding in mods to the list you are working from. If you follow Sober's list exactly, and do every single step he recommends, you will be successful your first time out of the barn!

Hi lodebeard,
Managed to get all the files and everything was going great, too well in fact. Followed the instructions and get application won't load error. This is down to the "patched" SH5 exe.

It appears that the latest TDW GenericPatcher is causing some people, including me, a problem.

Any ideas welcome but I think I'll need to wait for a possible solution/fix from TDW.
Loads with stock files and sobers mod list, just not the "required for ultimate fun"

new exe.
An older version worked the last time I had a go at SH V on winxp. Using win7 64 now.
Cheers
