Yeah that sounds about right. It appears that Steam keeps the file structure about the same as stock SH3, it just has a different parent folder.

For what it's worth, I've used a couple of minor mods (no crew fatigue and some updated boat textures) and they work OK with the Steam installed SH3 version. Just not sure how that will translate when it comes to GWX or Commander yet.

Good hunting, sir.

Let us know how you go!

A quick bit of advice. In my 'My Documents' folder I created a folder I titled 'SH3 Info'. In it I keep a copy of my current modded setup in a folder I titled 'Data-My Way'. I also keep a copy of the basic patched-to-1.4b Data folder in its own separate folder. This makes it easy to look at the original stock files if I ever need to.

I think if you are using a downloaded version of the game this is more than just a good idea - it's vital.
