Hello and thank you Subsim community for all your hard work modding SH5. Frankly I'm a little/totally overwhelmed by the massive amount of mods and fixes available.

I've had a look at the first post and I've spent about three hours in total reading various links, but much to my embarrassment, I'm stumped as to compatibility of the fixes.

I have

TDW_Generic patcher
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch and Hotfix
Depth_Keeping_Problem_TheDarkWraith
gap - armaments & equipments patch v 0.2
IRAI_0_0_39_TheDarkWraith
SUB_hyd_fix_SH5

From the balanced mods list in the 1st post the order should be

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch and Hotfix
IRAI_0_0_39_TheDarkWraith
Depth_Keeping_Problem_TheDarkWraith

So where in that order do the others go?

Thanks in advance for any help on this, I feel totally out of my depth

Anywhere in this case .. the trick is to watch if JSGME starts complaining about overwriting files from other mods. Generally, you want newer mods to overwrite older mods, but only if they are compatible, else you risk breaking the one you overwrite, and possibly introduce CTD's.

3 weeks ago, I was where you are now .. not having a clue and feeling kinda lost. Hang in there, it's volume, not complexity that's getting the better of you atm :p Just mess around and make sure you have that backup, if you use JSGME you almost cant go wrong with testing, except for maybe having to restart sh5.exe a few times :p
