Most popular mods - what do *you* use?

[JScones]

This is a variation on the popular "what mods should I get" question. However, I am not asking this question because I don't know how to use the search function, I'm asking so that the downloads section of Subsim.com can be updated (if necessary).

So, excluding Grey Wolves, RUb, IUB and NYGM, what mods do you use (please include the filenames and where you got them from)? No arguments, no flames, just pure "I use ... available at ...". And please be specific. It will allow me to see what the most popular additions are.

Consider this a fact finding mission.

Heres what i use (in random order) on GW11+NYGM+EUC base

GW and some small sound mods.

[Boris]

On top of a GW install:


Ships:

Converted Whale Factory
Coastal tanker
Rose castle Ore carrier
Lusitania
Chatham troop/hosptital ships
Iowa

- these really deserve integration into one of the larger campaigns

Others:

Simfeeling Slideout console
Unified campaign
Jonz rec manual
Fubar crew skins
Fubar U552
NYGM crew


I really can't be bothered trying to find the links to each right now... they're all popular mods.

[Salvadoreno]

NYGM

graphics mods.

[jaxa]

Before GW I used own pack of selected mods, but now I use only GW 1.1 (GW has majority mods from my own pack) and fubar's crew skins (much better than stock GW's skins).

PS. I forgot about one of the best mod ever made for SH3 - chomu's integrated orders for GW 1.1

[Syxx_Killer]

Boris, where did you get a Lusitania ship model? I know it isn't realisitc, but I would love to see Lusitania in the game! Btw, it was today, 91 years ago, that U-20 attacked and sank RMS Lusitania.

Most of the mods I use come from basically one of two places: terrapin's site and the forums here. If one isn't at one you can probably find it at the other.

Some of the mods do overlap into other installations, but you asked for it.

[jaxa]

Syxx_Killer, I've read list of your mods and I see you don't use only real uboot

[baxter]

Apart from NYGM Tonnage War and a couple of others that go with it, I use:


ICBM's Water Pressure Effects
Sound_Fix1.0
Soundmod for Ship break up (by Rulle)
Various selected sounds from Rulle

I recall finding most of these using links to filefront type sights which were posted in threads of this forum. I guess they could be found by searching the forum using the names of the mods.

Bypass Naval Academy? I assume you mean you've changed it so you get the renown without having to go through it all over again any time you reload.

I didn't bother. I can start with 500 renown instead of 1500.

That's it. That is actually a left over from when I was in the early stages of the game. I was inexperienced and didn't want to go through the academy again. Each list of mods is from a Word document that is a variation of the original. Some stuff gets carried over and some doesn't. Nowadays, it wouldn't matter if I bypass the naval academy or not. The file for the naval academy is in the SH3 folder in My Documents. I don't have any reason to edit that folder, so it, too, has gone untouched for a VERY long time. Now, if I don't feel like racking up the renown, I just edit the appropriate files. :P

lol Yeah, that's about it. Maybe I should create yet another installation...?

[Rosencrantz]

Still with RuB + HT + realbattery. Also I have done some minor adjustements my own. Only what I would like to see in RuB is tonnage system and Kiel canal. Tried NYGM but because it lacked HT I decided go back to RuB again.

-RC-

Rosencrantz, you can use the SCR file from GW for the latest harbor traffic and the Canal. Just look at the HT 1.47 Mod for RUB to see all the files it changes, then load in the proper files. You can also just do this with HT itself on top of NYGM.

All these mods are available here or at u-boat simulations.
