Welcome aboard, Hurricane

Don't forget Foo's skins, available at FooFighters Silent Hunter 4 sub skins page

As for JSGME, have you installed it as the readme instructs? What part of it are you having problems with? And are you running Vista (if so, did you install the game in the "Program Files" directory)?

If running XP you extract JSGME to yout Main SH4 Folder, then run it once to create the Mods folder and you are good to go. You then go back into JSGME, you should see the mods you put in the Mods Folder there. It is now just a matter or activating them.
For an Illustrated Guide see the link below my sig.

Edit: If running Vista see this thread:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=123848

Basically when the SH4 Root folder has a folder called "MODS" in there (created when you run JSGME for the first time), than any mod that you download (which is JSGME ready) is extracted into that MODS folder. You then run JSGME and it will show the mod you extracted. All you then do is highlight that mod in JSGME (on the left side) and press the right arrow to enable that mod.

I hope that helps.
