Can I manually Install mods into SH5?

Yes by using JSGME check out my tutorials.
You can install any mods with Steam.

I ask because After watching a video of Open Horizons being installed in such a way (unspecified whether or not is was a steam version)

Irrelevant as I said.

Steam fix for using TDW's Generic File Patcher essential application.
Post #161 TDW’s Generic File Patcher Steam Installation Instructions By sirrawsrsalot > Updated Version

TDW Generic Patcher seems like the Foundation Mod

Not a mod its an application and can be installed as a stand alone anywhere or enabled from within TDW's NewUI 7-5-0 base mod.

Vanilla is bugged and broken.

Use one of the mega mods like sobers or TWOS after converting the Steam application.
Making your own mod lists is not worth the time or trouble as you will spend more time fixing it than playing the game.
The mega mods are very reliable.

Alright, I am a bit Confused.

The last that I saw, JSGME's download link did not work, based on that I assumed the utility was non-functioning. If the utility is still compatible, I would appreciate a download link. I saw a 'Legacy' file on Nexusmods, but I would like to know if I can trust it.

Furthermore, I thought that TDW Did not work with STEAM, which I wish to re-iterate is my version of the game, unless you got the Ubisoft version of 'SH5.exe' which I have tried to get but failed multiple times. To me TDW seems like the most important addition to SH5. From what I have seen, TDW fixes alot of bugs in the stock game. I therefore assume that most, if not all mods, are reliant on these patches. Am I wrong in thinking this?

I have gone through the link "New to SH5? Look At this" and it doesnt mention JsGME at all.

I am sorry if I am being a bit dense, but until I get a map in my head of how the game files interact with eachother, im going to be pretty cautious.


P.S. Thank you all for the warm Welcomes to the forum.

Hi Krieger

The last that I saw, JSGME's download link did not work,

The download is working ok in my tutorial.
Installation instructions also for this and many others.

TDW Did not work with STEAM,

That is correct, TDW's Generic File Patcher does not work with Steam unless you use the fix.

if not all mods, are reliant on these patches. Am I wrong in thinking this?

It would depend on the particular mod.

until I get a map in my head of how the game files interact with eachother, im going to be pretty cautious.

You need to get the fix working or buy a different SH5 version.
Then you can install the TWOS mega mod which has full instructions.
Check it out.
