Lack of Game Mods

That I don't know. Possibly RR is correct and it's the luck of the draw. SH3 was the first of its kind in bringing sub sims to a new level of feel and immersion.

I know all the different sounds in 688i for instance is crammed into one big single file (dont you just hate that?) - so I guess you cant really create sound mods for that game, I suppose.

SH3 (and 4 and 5), while having a large variety of Speech files, has all its other sounds in one folder as well. Creating a sound mod involves no more than finding a mixer that can save the same format as that used in the game, and then isolating the sounds you want and converting them to the correct format. I know this much because I have converted sound files for SH3 and SH4 myself. It's not that hard.
