Introducing a new Kaleu, and a question

[subvers4]

Hi to all fellow Kaleuns on this forum, ( or should that be " Wie gehts " ? ). I share what appears to be a common addiction on here, namely the joy, pride, anticipation and sheer terror, ( sometimes ! ), of taking command of your boat, sailing out to unknown adventures, and known adversaries ! Doing our collective duty for the glory of the Fatherland. Then steering a course to bring our, ( usually battered and bent ) boat and crew back safely to port.
I have been playing SH111 for around 2 or 3 months now, having progressed from SH11, what a difference a dynamic campaign makes ! I have been using GWX 1.03 until very recently when i finished a career, and then donated and downloaded GWX 2. Great work and congrats all round to you guys on the GWX team. However, I have not progressed further than the naval academy in GWX 2 as yet. I hasten to add that this is by choice, due to not wanting to totally commit to a career yet until i have the game set up the way i would like.
I have downloaded and installed Commander, I think to the correct place. When the screen loads for SH111 it says" loaded by SH Commander," so I guess I've done that ok ? The thing that is troubling me is that there are a couple of mods that I would like to add for the time being, although I would not consider myself a complete newbie regarding the mechanics and tactics of SH111, I would neither count myself in the revered company of some of the highly experienced, and legendary Kaleuns on here.
I have downloaded JSGME, for the purpose of installing and uninstalling a couple of small mods. This sounds a great programme for this kind of thing. However this is where my ignorance and ineptitude with things computerish shows. ( I still regard an abacus with deep suspicion ! ). The notes say to install it to the root folder of the game, I took that to mean the SH111 folder in my documents, so i did, I now have a mods folder in there as promised. I also have one on my desktop ! Is this good or bad news ? I have tried to install a simple mod ie contact tails through JSGME, sadly to no avail. I realise the fault lies with me and something I have or have not done properly, I would appreciate and be grateful for anyone taking the time to point me in the right direction. But please, in layman's terms, I have only guessed at the meaning of " root folder " !
Thanks in anticipation, and also for taking the time to read this. BTW my os is windows xp

Welcome to SUBSIM

The root folder is actually your main SH3 Folder in your Program Files, so
ProgramFiles-Ubisoft-SilentHunter3. Extract JSGME there, run it once to create the Mods Folder and you are good to go. Check my sig for a link to a nice Illustrated Guide on how to use JSGME.

Good luck

Was not JSGME installed along with GWX 2.0?

This guy is sunbathing naked on the beach with just his cap over his d**k when a women passed by and said "If you were a gentleman you'd lift your hat to a lady".

He replied "If you wasn't so fuc*ing ugly it would lift itself".
