Is SH4 supposed to be this obtuse?

Try as I may, this game just does not seem to do "what it says on the box!"

Throw the box and manual out the window, they suck to say the least. Check out the stickies section for guides,manuals, etc, there is some good stuff there. Also, ask questions here, the forums\threads are your best manual. Use the search option, as some of your questions may be answered doing this

There is a nice guide that Ducimus did on this, check it out. Also, if it is that much of an issue, use unlimited.

For the time being I guess I'll stick to SH3.

This is a nice effect, the eye candy is great as well and is getting better with mods. Since 1.3 many of the problems have been fixed, plus there are some great mods of various kinds. Bottom line is that the game is not SH3, nor should it be, it is an enjoyable experience\sim in its own right.

A little patience and taking the time to get familiar with the game can go
along way
