Ok. One thing I can see is "for_MODS_folder". I think there are sub folders in there that are the actual mod and need to pulled out to be in MODS. That mod is packaged a little different than normal.

Ok, I'll try that. Although, that does not explain why I can't get any mods working.

Edit: Did not work..

Well, they gotta be going somewhere. After you install the mods, do you have any folders named 'data' anywhere else? There should be one in Silent Hunter 5 and one in each of the mod folders. You shouldn't have Silent Hunter 5\data\data, for instance

Each mod has it's own data folder and I don't have Silent Hunter 5\data\data.

Quite an annoying problems since I would not want to start playing campaign before getting these mods working..

I'm out of suggestions. The only thing left I can think of is to make sure you activated the mods in JSGME, ie move them from the left window to the right. Silly, but I can't think of anything else.

Yeah, done that. In SHIII it works fine. Very weird problem... It seems I can't play it if I can't get those stupid mods to work.

Thanks anyway for your effort to help the best you can!

Ok, i haven't attempted to install any mods yet. i've been looking since release.

I want a better AI, a way to check the depth under keel, and a way for ships to actually sink and not drift at 0 knots for 2 days and nights while fully engulfed in flames.

What would you guys suggest?

I've been hesitant about downloading mods 'cause i'm concerned with balance. I haven't played SH5 since i realized i can't be found and depth charged when i'm 20 meters beneath the waves going ahead flank.

I thought of one more thing you can check. Pick a couple of files in various mod folders and compare the time/date on them with the ones in your SH5 data folder. If they're the same, the mod did install properly. If they're not, they installed somewhere else. Do a search for the filenames and see if you can find where they went.
