Using JSGME

It maybe a historical item that won't show up until it is supposed to.
What year are you in? Are you playing stock or a super mod?
Need more info from you to help.

Precisely which mod are you activating?

A link to it would be helpful.

Ok , sorry , I should have elaborated a little more .

I'm running SHIII stock , updated (i think 1.4)
I have 2 copies of the game , one I experiment on , the other no mods .
The Milk 1.1 mods , ASN Torps , and one of the VanDos ships are the mods I've attempted to install .

When I open the JSGME app , it comes up and I added the decompressed files in the left section , select , and move to activated side (right) .

I see the folders show up in the mods folder . I have several careers with different boats / years , so I don't think it's chronological .

I'm not afraid to tweak things , I've done that with FSX and prior , but would love to learn more about cfg files for this game .

Thanks and great site btw

I suspect that the file structure of the mods is incorrect, and the mod files are ending up in the SHIII folder and not the data folder where they would be active. This fault occurred in the early use of JSGME when the mod author did not understand the file structure and essentially double-named the mod.

OK , I did see copies in both MODS folder and main SHIII folder . Nothing shows up in the Documents folder . Is there something I need to copy to data file in documents ? Or do I need a different version of JSGME ?
