Which supermod to install?

mikehcl · 03-31-20, 05:43 AM

Hi, I reinstalled sh4 and I'm undecided on which supermod to install, I don't care about the campaign with uboats as I already have sh5, I would focus on the American campaign.
Thanks.

I recommend Fall of the Rising Sun - Ultimate Edition. It looks good and plays well now but the mod team is actively working on it and adding the promised modular additions. It also combines a lot of the lessons learned by the previous modders and takes advantage of the vastly increased capabilities of modern computers.

Good hunting!

Second for Fall of the Rising Sun. It's a great mod, and I've recommended it multiple times on this forum.

Thanks for the advice, I found sh4 gold on uplay for 5 euros and I bought it, I will do a clean installation and install this mod

Do not install UPlay and SH4 in a "Program Files" folder, else Windows will ruin your modding attempts. When it comes up with the dialog for where to install, changes the "Program Files (x86)" portion of the path to something like "Games" or whatever you want to name it. Then Windows usually doesn't care what it is.

Do a clean install and then multicopy to each individual super mod.

I currently have three SH4 installs - FOTRSU, Dark Waters, and We Dive at Dawn.

Make sure you have LAA installed.
