You can mod as much as you like but to get the game really playable takes 3 or 4 of the bigger mods. Then you take it as far as you want to go. Considering the community took the time to create the mods in the first place should tell you that the game was worth working on.
Simply this, as soon as I get done with this message, I'm booting up SH5!!

I played SH3 and SH4 for a number of years and then took a break. Fired it up a week ago and remembered why I liked it so much. Which is why my interest in SH5.

So far I am hearing SH5 is a no go unless one installs a mod or 3.

Unfortunately since 1979 when I played my 1st PC game I have been want to rarely install any mod. If a game can't stand on it's own buying it just isn't in my future. Probably a bit of a silly attitude but it's just the way I am.

Thanks for the replies guys. Appreciate your perspectives.

I'm new to SH5. I've been playing it recently with the following mods:

Accurate German Flags
Capthelms SH5 Audio Mod
NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith
IRAI_0_0_30_ByTheDarkWraith
Equip_Upgrades_Fix_1_4_AFFOE_151
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2
TDW_Mines_Subnets_Detectable_in_hydro (OH II v1.5)
FX_Update_0_0_19_ByTheDarkWraith
Dynamic Environment SH5-V2.1

I have found that with these mods, it's a very enjoyable game, with many features that you don't find in the other two. However, I have also noted that features present in the other two are not present in SH5 - mostly small stuff. I have also noted what appear to be bugs, again mostly small niggling things.

No doubt more things will turn up as I continue to play it, but as it stands now with these mods its most definitely an enjoyable simulation.

Have the mods been able to make a campaign worth playing as of yet? Have they been able to extend the war past 1943?

The mod that does that was released more than a year ago.

The mod that improves it was released nine months ago.

The newest version is new.

One would think you would have known that if you actually cared.
