Another forum for SH4 mods.

Those are the places I'll look at for mods. Since you haven't mentioned a specific mod or description of the mod there isn't much chance anyone here can guess what you're looking for. Those links should get you going.

As for the OPs question I like SH4 a huge part for the graphics. I like the eye candy (except for a few minor things). I think the game runs smooth and I can get up and playing in a couple minutes without waiting for load times. Never had an issue with saves either. Game has only crashed (so far) when I screwed up a mod order so it was pretty much my fault. My 2cents.

PTO isn't too hard to figure out as far as the game goes. Think of it this way:

It's like playing the Kreigsmarine that only has type 9 uboats and no type 7's at all. Said type 9 uboats come equpied with up to 10 tubes instead of just 6, all reloads stored internally, better radar that will never shuts off because a wave hit it, more deck weaponry, a TDC that keeps track of where a target is, and the enemy never gets to use hedge hogs.

That's it in a nut shell.

Maybe mod soup, another program (virus scan) running, etc., but the game saves everything for me, all the time.

I too never, ever, had a savegame problem, and that makes me wonder if a major part of complaints are not related to changing mods too often and getting save games mixed up.
