Brief installation guide for an old noob?

timbob · 11-18-11, 08:24 AM

It's been a long time since I played SH3 - I think my last login to this forum was nearly 2 years ago, but I have a bit more free time these days and fancy giving SH3 a go again.

I used to use GWX, and am just downloading their GWX3 gold final release as we speak in order to use it again. I'd also like to use the merchant fleet skins, and that's about it... aside from maybe doing the starforce remove thing. Do I need to use various mod installers to get things running?

If any charitable guys with 5 spare mins, and current knowledge of how things work could knock me up an "install list" along the lines of (for example):

1. Install vanilla SH3
2. Install Merchant ships
3. Install mod installer
4. Only now install GWX

...then that would be hugely appreciated! I'd rather get going than spend all evening installing mods in the wrong order, only to find they don't work!
