Difficulty in installing RFB Mod

Real Fleet Boat Mod

I want to install the Real Fleet Boat Mod but I am having problems.

This is what I have done so far.
Uninstalled my previous game and reinstalled a new game. I then patched to v1.4 and restarted my PC.

I then successfully installed JSGME.

I then went to AVGWarhawk’s topic in the “SH4 Fleet Boats Mods Workshop Forum”

1.4 Patch Compatible Mods List. I read the blurb and selected:-

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111770
which took me to [REL] Real Fleet Boat version 1.31.

I selected the link to http://www.beerymod.com/SH4/RFB131.7z

Downloaded the file, extracted it to the mods folder and used JSGME to successfully install it into my newly installed game. However when I tried to run SH4 all I got was the vanilla version opening scenes and menu.

I went back to Berrie’s [REL] Real Fleet Boat version 1.3 and read through the message to find that, I quote,

“IMPORTANT NOTES:
This mod is to be used with Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific version 1.3. It may not work properly if you don't have the correct game version installed “

So I uninstalled the game and reinstalled and this time patched to v1.3. I restarted my PC, reinstalled JSGME and d/l Berry’s RFB mod again. But again all I got was the vanilla version of SH4.

In each case before I uninstalled the game I tried installing other mods with JSGME to prove that it was working OK.

So I am in a quandary. What am I doing wrong please?
