Don't know which mods you're talking about, but did you check for an extra folder level when you extracted them? If you open the mod folder in the MODS folder and you don't see a folder named DATA, then there is probably an extra folder level. If this is the case, then disable all the mods that have an extra level and take the folder that contains the DATA folder out of the extra folder, put it into the MODS folder and delete the now empty folder that you originally put into the MODS folder. Then reenable your mods and you should be good to go.

Edit:If any of the mods have to be enabled in a particular order, it might be best to disable all the mods (even if there is no extra folder level) and fix the ones that need fixing and then enable in the correct order.

i installed the MODS folder in "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific" and now the Folder is there i extracted the SSM 1.4.2 Mod in it, SSM Data folder path is like this "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\sobers super mod (SH4) 1.4.2\Data", what should i do, i also tried to put the MODS folder in the SH4 Data folder and didnt work, should i only take the Data folder of the mod and put it in MODS or what

I'm assuming here that you are running Windows XP and NOT Vista. All the below applies to XP. If you are running Vista, you will need to back up your mods, uninstall the game and reinstall it somewhere besides the "Program Files" folder (for instance in C:\Games or on another hard drive if you have one available. Vista does some wierd things when you try to change files in the Program Files folder and is not really conducive to modded games.


No, it looks like you have it installed correctly. Just to double check, you could check the hidden folder !BACKUP in the MODS folder and make sure that the files in Sober's mod have indeed been installed. If the files have been installed, you will see a file/folder structure similar to the mods structure except the files would all end with the name of the mod (signifying that the file is the file that was in the game before the mod was activated).

The MODS folder should have been created correctly in the root folder of SH4 when you first ran JSGME and it should stay there. Moving it into the Data folder will not accomplish anything (except maybe foul the game up).

Maybe a screenshot of what's in each of the following folders might help us determine what the problem is.
......Silent Hunter
......\MODS
.......\MODS\Sober's mod
........\MODS\Sober's mod\Data
