Default need advice re: Gray Wolves vs Seawolves

I was one of the unsuspecting ones and bought Seawolves. Now that I have discovered this forum, I understand it was a rip-off of free mods. I am thinking of uninstalling Seawolves and reinstalling SHIII. Then, I may install the Gray Wolves mod. Does this sound like a good idea? Is Gray Wolves a better mod experience than Sea Wolves? Any advice would be appreciated.
PS: I am waiting for the bugs to get ironed out of SHIV before I get that. In the
meantime, I am still grooving on SHIII. :hmm:

Seawolves is a half assed rip off of Grey Wolves. And GWX is much newer too.

@ 5string74

GWX is the latest incarnation of Grey Wolves (eXpansion ). It is by far the most complete mod available for SH3 currently available.

You can click on my sig to get the files & read the GWX manual, aka Das Buch (online version). I suggest reading the manual as there is alot of important information regarding the installation of GWX aswell as a wealth of historical data relating to the changes that have been made. Besides, you'll have time to spare while the d/l completes.

If you have only been playing Stock SH3 & Seawolves, you are going to be blown away with GWX.

Enjoy GWX mate & if you have any further questions, come back to us.

Default for jimbuna: funny you should say that and GWX question

I was a cook on an offshore scalloper out of Cape Cod in the '70's. (was a deck had for over two years, then spent the last 6 months cooking).
BTW, one of the most impressive, scarey things I ever saw at sea was a nuclear sub surface and speed by our vessel (man was that thing fast). I was thinking that I wouldn't want that thing mad at me!

As far as GWX, I downloaded it but it took up too much hard drive space. I uninstalled. I am thinking of getting an external hard drive. Will that enable me to install and run the game from there?
