Just a few quick questions from a new SH series newbie

Sober, mods are one thing but the Patcher is something different altogether. If you don't know or understand what you're doing it's a daunting task. Especially for me and others.

It's too bad everything needed to be done with the Patcher can't be done in TDW's UI mods for the Cfgs.... just instal the mod with JSGME and it's done. I tried once and screwed the pooch on changing the necessary Cfgs. That's one reason some of us are very leary of using TDW's mods where the Cfgs need to be changed. Do it wrong and you have more than mod soup.

Thanks for phrasing it better GT. I understand how to install the mods and by trial and error i understand how things interact with JSGME. That was never really the issue. I enjoy the new UIs that may if you guys put out but understanding the patcher and making it work makes me dizzy. I spent the better part of yesterday trying in vain to make sense of it!

Re the EXE patcher
Extract it and place the complete folder on the desktop .
Click on the EXE patcher (application)and click on file open then follow the prompts until the patches appear.
Download my GES file and extract it anywhere .
