Hi guys, yes its me again. Now the subject of mods, because I play SH3 direct through uplay I'm now getting to understand that I cannot use mods, is this correct. I guess I wasted my money on purchasing the game direct through UBI and not buying the CD. Oh well onwards and upwards.

Hi guys hopefully someone can help? I have the SH3 dvd trying to install and installshield is coming up with a box asking if I want to repair modify or something else and when I click an option the install closes. I have been trying to install it for weeks now and its getting quite frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

sounds like you still have SH3 Files from a previous install ensure theres no SH3 files on your computer also any SH3 Mods you have unpacked including the Commander Mod even the SH3 folder in your documents folder if that has your campaign career Campaign save copy it to a usb stick then delete it now reinstall SH3 all should be fine run SH3 then it will make a new SH3 folder in your documents for your Campaign
reinstall the Commander Mod
then just delete the new one and replace with SH3 folder on usb stick with your career save on and your good to go

Adding to the above: You should also clean out your registry files to ensure all traces of a previous install are eradicated.
