SH4 is still a great game, the more so after receiving supermod treatment
If you are playing Uboats, then your mod of choice is no other than Lurker's "Operation Monsoon": http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=134922 with its corresponding environment & interface mod: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=158764 If you are more into american fleet boats, then you can choose between: -Real Fleet Boat: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=159709 -Trigger Maru (Harder but very exciting and with loads of goodies): http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...t=trigger+maru - Fall of Rising Sun: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=147988 Good hunting

Yes. Most of the supermods are made to work only with UBM.

Welcome aboard. I noticed you said 'easy to install.' JSGME or Jones Soft Generic Mod Enabler make all modes easy install.

I am just getting into SH4 now. Am I correct in understanding I will be needing v1.5 to run the megamods?

Yes. And No. There are people who have dedicated themselves to keeping the old 1.4 versions of the supermods available for those who have objections to buying the UBM add-on. I'm not personally familiar with who they are but only know that they exist.
However, if you want a version of the supermods that is less than about two years old, you must purchase the add-on. I think it's the best $10.00 I've spent, in spite of the fact that I was stuck with the Direct 2 Drive download version. I enthusiastically urge you to resist getting the add-on that way as they stick you with a one time use key. When you need to reinstall the game (and you will!) you're in for one nasty speed bump. Instead, buy the SH4 Gold version off a store shelf. It has no slimy Sony SecuRom module to scan your computer for innocent software that Sony doesn't like every time SH4 starts up and it can be reinstalled multiple times without the need to go through the hassle of trying to obtain a new key from a company that back burners your needs after they have your cash. U-Boat missions made some adjustments other than the addition of the U-Boat which make it well worth the trouble to obtain. The most important of these is speed. The original SH4 kept the entire ocean in RAM at all times, including thousands of contacts you would never encounter. UBM loads only the contacts within a certain radius from your sub while all the rest are safely kept in a Shoedinger's Cat-like limbo. The result is a new SH4 that loads quicker and plays better--remarkably better. If that were the only change in UBM it would be a compelling reason to acquire it.

Was questioning the need for the add-on even though I just want to give the fleet boats a go. Thing is I bought IV plain through D2D first, oh well.

Im on the SHIV Gold Edition bandwagon as well. I think I will try with the Trigger Maru mod first, since I kind of enjoyed SH IV's Pacific Theatre back in '07 when it was released.

OK...New to SH4 and have a [dumb] question or two...
The mods - how do you actually install them? Using JSGME? And if so, I've tried installing JSGME to the SH4 directory, but no mods folder is created. Any help would be appreciated.
