Reccomended Mods To Use With TMO 2.5

01-02-15, 06:11 PM

I know, I don't want to sound lazy here, but then again I thought I'd ask you pros since just trying getting back into SH4 (cancer battle) TMO2.5 using JMSG what mods you have found to be...

1. compatible
2. adds some maybe extra eye candy, more realistic weather, water, etc., etc., I guess the list could go on. I even see mods that changed the Japanese detection systems to be more realistic, but I dunno.

Since I use TMO2.5 exclusively, going through the files and forums can be a bit daunting trying to nail down mods that are tried and true specific for just TMO2.5 in so far as compatibility and are really worthwhile.

Again, sorry, don't want to appear to be lazy, but I don't want to mess this thing up, even though I know I could just disable the mod as easy. Really want to see what you guys recommend to further enhance the overall experience- if it's possible in TMO2.5!

Thank you.

There are a bunch of great ones here, many in the downloads section. Here are a few:

I like this one as far as an Environment Mod: Here

- Easier AI: Here

- Max Optics ( should work for 2.5 as well ): Here

- Captain Midnight's Radio Mod ( you have to download all four parts ): Here

- BBC Worldwide News: Here

- Fred8615 has a bunch of stuff, his profile page: Here

- CapnScurvy: [REL] Optical Targeting Correction

Like I said there are many, these are just a few.

These are the ones I use with TMO. For now, I'd recommend startling slow. Don't install all of them immediately.

Wow...many thanks already!
I truly appreciate the help! looking forward to checking them out. Of course I have to remember some mods may conflict with others, that's why I add one at a time...just to be safe. But at least I know they work with TMO2.5!

Thanks a bunch!

That Environmental mod is super! No more cartoonish looking water like it has tones of blue dye in it!

Now I'm gonna look to see how to get my gramophone back to listen to some good 40's music while Iadmire the scenery! I mean the button lights up red, but no gramophone appears.

Don't forget 1_TMO_25_small_patch.rar to avoid the trouble with TAMBOR class 'upgrades'. More info here:

July 1944 I just caught the Guam / Saipan counter force coming out of the San Bernardino Straights.

Total

Two Heavy Cruisers
One Light Cruiser
One Destroyer
Damaged one Fleet Carrier

Tried to pursue for more but they were faster than I was on the surface. I went back to the straights and waited ... one convoy of 5 Nippon Maru plus escorts.

Total

Two Nippon Maru

Out of fish ...

Deck gunned:

At least five more merchants.

Total upon entering port ... 99,957 tonnes

85% realism.

The soup is reallllll good.

Sandman_28054 · 01-28-15, 09:12 PM

I have 2 SH4 folders, one for TMO 2.0, and one for "stock" v 1.5.

Stock had TMO 1.9, disabled it and tried to enable 2.5 and small patch.

Wouldn't take.

Am I doing something wrong?

I really would like to try this.
