Returning to SH3

CaptainFunk · 07-23-15, 08:36 AM

HI All

I realise that this must be an all to common question but after an extensive search I still need some veteran advice.

I'm currently back playing SH5 - TWOS and really enjoying it . It has certainly come a long way way from the awful botched release (thanks to dedicated community Modders) however I still have fond, fond memories of SH3. Again thanks to the mod community, SH3 has advanced considerable since I the last time I played it and therein lies my questions...........

..... I plan to install a fresh patched, Starforce free version with Gwx v3. In addition I was planning on using this list (from Wolfpack vid - ) as a mod soup.

1) I think some of the mods below are already updated (MEP) so will be installing the new version. However have a missed anything important?
2)Any further recommendations? I have a good high spec PC and like realism / fun (90% ish)
3)Does this order look ok?

I can't help with that particular setup, because mine is completely different. I would offer one warning, though. If you simply install all those mods and start playing you're almost sure to be back here in no time asking what's wrong.

Or, as I put it in my own "Starting Over" thread...

Thanks Steve.

I agree 100%. I always load MODS in Step by Step - many years of modding Flight sims and various other games / Night spent pulling hair out taught me that hahah

Ok after much downloading and installing / testing I am set up with the following (inc SH3 Commander of course). All working great and I got to say the game still blows away SH5 especially with this config! Only thing left to do is locate a download for raptors uniforms (I cant find a working one anywhere!)

Looks like a very nice, simple, layout. I may very well use this list myself.

Myxale · 07-25-15, 10:23 AM

A solid and quite clean little mod-list.
It's easy to go overboard. But after years of playing you get the feel for what you really need in your game.

RushTheBus · 07-25-15, 12:12 PM

Agreed. It's all about striking the proper balance. The biggest issue for me is the lack of high resolution support (i have a 1440p panel).

CaptainFunk · 07-26-15, 11:08 AM

Thanks Steve - excellent stuff I now have the raptor uniform mod YAY

Yes All seems to be running very nicely (touch wood). It is very easy to go overboard (forgive the pun) when loading up mods. This set seems just about right for me personally (thanks Wolfpack for the inspiration).

Well back to SH3 now as I spent the yesterday wandering around U 534 in the UBOAT museum. Ive been a few times but always great to see it. One day Ill get to Chicago.
