Don't worry about seeing JSGME.EXE in the SH III folder. Right click on the JSGME installer that you downloaded. Specify the SH III main folder as the destination & the program willl install itself there. Open up the SH III folder & you'll see a new folder called Mods. Place unzipped mods in that folder. Run JSGME & those mods should appear on the left-hand side of the screen as available to activate.

Certain mods like "Lifeboats & Debris v3b" and "Rowers for Lifeboats & Debris v3b" should be activated in this order:
1) Lifeboats & Debris
2) Rowers...Debris
In this example the Rowers mod will overwrite the Lifeboats mod & JSGME will give you a warning message that this is happening and it may adversely affect your game. That's fine; these 2 mods are compatible. The Lifeboats mod will appear greyed out in the lst of active mods when the Rowers add-on is activated.

As was previously stated, check a mod's release thread and readme file(s) to see if there are any known compatibilty issues with what you already have installed and active.

Help this helps...

Here's my list of "Must Haves" for SHIII:

Silent Hunter III Commander (SH3Cmdr313.zip)

GWX 2.1 (follow the links above) Make sure to read the provided manual for installation instructions and for using with Silent Hunter III Commander.

Torpedo Damage Final (Torpedo damage Final ver2.0)

This is so you can make those pesky enemy ships look like this !


RealweatherFix2 Mod (RealWeatherFix2.zip) to add a little variety to the weather and to help combat those month long Atlantic storms.

Those are the mods that I use. The next mod for me to try out is the Lifeboats and Debris one.
