I run 2 websites myself. 1 for a program and the other is for a clan in WoT's. I do the 'live support' for the program and I know from first hand experience how lazy people can be when it comes to getting a program up and running and I've had some real duzzies. I had 1 client come in for help and OMG, after several minutes of trying to help him, I asked him to open windows explorer and open 'My Documents'. His next words were... and I kid you not... "What that? I don't have that."
I've been going over these forums for several days now, trying to gleam everything I can, so as not to 'be that noob' that nobody wants to respond to.
I may not be Tech savvy with a lot of stuff and to be honest, with the SH5ModsMega-PackAugust2013.7z.... it's kind of daunting. Which is why I asked about the order that they should be loaded....

But thanks for the input guys. I made the post and went to get lunch and by the time I got back, there were 2 responses.
As to the Zip file.... after updating SH-V, I made a .RAR file of everything in the folder before installing anything. It takes me 4-5 hrs to get the program downloaded, as I live in Lima, Peru. I did this, so that I can delete everything and start from scratch again, if needed.

Cheers guys, and thanks again.

Yes, the bonus mod megapack can be daunting!! Snapshots, mep files, versions, etc. Many newbies have asked why isn't there an all in one mega mod to download. They did not want to believe us veterans as we tried to explain why. Some newbies have tried and gave up creating a megamod, all talk no action.

Mods are constantly being updated, takes a long time to create and upload something that big. As modders, a lot of us do not believe the SH5 game is where it can be the best yet. We are trying with the time we have. Give us a few more years. Than perhaps another megamod can be done. Rongel is working on one now, though, with current mods out there.

I hope you have a non-Steam version of game. If so, you can use SH5 patcher, too. Fixes many bugs. Helpful how-to-do links at bottom of post #1. Sjizzle how-to-do link has instructions for most current patchers. Can be made into a mod, but at every new version it has to be reconstructed. Not as bad as it sounds once you know how to do it!!

Another helpful hint:
Disable all mods. Make a DVD of all files/folder of stock (some people call it vanilla) SH5 patched to 1.2.

Helps when major modsoup errors happen. Much easier than uninstalling SH5 game, shutting down computer for registry issues. and then reinstalling game later.
