Transitioning from 4 to 5...

As mentioned above, I applied mods and I can't use TDW's built in configurator to apply the SH4 UI because it allows me to set an SH5 install path but nothing else.

The release thread says just about everything in the world except what I need to do to get it working. When I lauch the Options application, I have one menu entry; 'File'. In that, there are 2 'open' items and both are greyed out.

I tried uninstallling the mods and checking to see if it needed to be done pre-installation and it does the exact same thing.

This alongside this poxy stupid uplay nonsense is leaving me with quite a sour taste.

Is it worth it? Seriosuly... Should I just stick with SH4 and be happy with a Silent Hunter title that looks good, is modded well, works flawlessly, is stable and launches straight off the start-menu shortcut with one click?

Yes the Germans had the cool boats, and the Atlantic has more of a lure for me than the Pacific, but at this stage, I think I'd rather take SH3 over SH5. Somehow, waiting 16hours for a game to load seems preferable to this debacle.

No - if you are not able to install the mod - chances are you will have no time to learn the game either

I tried the vanilla game of SH5 and hated it. I tried modding it using Stoianm1's tutorials and love watching his YouTube "How to..." vids. They are awesome and proof of how impressive and immersive SH5 can be. However I became completely stuck as far as modding was concerned and had immense failure with my attempts.

Now recently I bought SH3 via Steam and have been modding it without too many problems (well I got further than SH5) and am enjoying the adventure. After a while I will go back to SH4 with mods for a change of scenery. So I would just stay with SH4 and SH3 and mod as much as possible for the 'perfect' gaming experience.

Happy hunting
