SHIV:Gold with TMO Installed, Questions

1) There is a running joke here about the manual. It's best purpose is to use it a coaster for your beer.
2) As Hmuda said. use that mod, I do, and it's very nice, highly recommend it.

3) I like to start my career late enough that radar is available on the boat. It's all up to you how you wish to play.

Well, the MOD suggested (see above) did not work. I have no idea why. I "enabled" the MOD using the generic MOD software and it says it's enabled, but no joy. I am now only running TMO and the (supposed) suggsted MOD.

How does one confirm that a MOD (such as the TMO MOD I installed) is ACTUALLY working inside the main program?

Well, for TMO it will be onvious once you're inside the main menu. It will have a different background animation, and instead of "Credits", there will be a new option for the TMO readme.

It will also have a new load screen with a black and white picture, and in bold letters say "TMO Overhauled". It will be very obvious. If you don't see this, you need to recheck your install. You may have your folders structured incorreclty.

I'm seeing neither, so I guess I'd better go recheck how I have Generic Mod Enabler setup. I'm perplexed because I am a great believer in reading instructions. Thanks for the hints! I'm sure I'll get this sorted out eventually.

Funny thing is, when I temporarily installed the 360-degree plotter compass for the attack/navigation maps I *did* get those MODS installed properly.

Weird!

One thing I should have mentioned as well. If you are using Vista, you may need to run JSGME as administrator. Right click the exe. (icon) and select "Run as Administrator" Depending on how Vista is configured, JSGME may appear to be installing the mods, but will not actually copy and overwrite the files into the folders. Running it as Administrator will remedy this. It's a protection thing.

Also...Make sure you have unzipped (extracted/decompressed) the files into the mod folder! Let me know if you have any problems, I'll do what I can. You will love the changes. Good luck!

Yep, using Vista. I hate Vista. I will try your newest suggestion as well.
