Thanks for posting this, I just picked-up the SH Bundle on Steam this past weekend, and currently wading through these forums to make sense out of the Steam limitations and work-arounds.

Hi All, I think I have followed all the instructions for mods - have JSGME installed in my Sh4 root and used it to install GFO 1.1 and rebooted. When I launched the game I saw no effect to indicate any of the mods were in place.
So, installed JSGME, GFO 1.1 and installed the mods folder in the SH4 root dir. I rebooted and started the game but it doesn't look like anything installed.
Can you see any problem with what I did?
Thanks

Where do you have Silent Hunter installed? What is the "path" to it, in other words? When you run the install program, it defaults to "C:\Program Files (x86)\ Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\" - is your path like that, or did you change it? Also, did you install the DirectX v9.0c that came in the package?

Whichever folder that "SH4.exe" is in, is where you put the JSGME install (the easiest way). Run it from there, and it will create a "MODS" folder. Open the MODS folder, and put the desired mod in there. Back out to the game folder and use JSGME to activate the mod. Select the mod in the left column, click the arrow button in the middle that points to the right side. You might get prompted by JSGME, asking if you want to continue. Of course Windows UAC might also ask you some questions... It might take a while to activate the mod, depending on its size...

Hello

Might be of interest as my mega mod uses Webster's GFO.

I installed it in the Root dir but not in any of the program dirs. It reads C:\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\
(See I read the directions ;-)

The JSGME folder is also in that folder with the SHIV.exe file further down the list...
