Yeah, done that. In SHIII it works fine. Very weird problem... It seems I can't play it if I can't get those stupid mods to work.

Thanks anyway for your effort to help the best you can!

Ok, i haven't attempted to install any mods yet. i've been looking since release.

I want a better AI, a way to check the depth under keel, and a way for ships to actually sink and not drift at 0 knots for 2 days and nights while fully engulfed in flames.

What would you guys suggest?

I've been hesitant about downloading mods 'cause i'm concerned with balance. I haven't played SH5 since i realized i can't be found and depth charged when i'm 20 meters beneath the waves going ahead flank.

I thought of one more thing you can check. Pick a couple of files in various mod folders and compare the time/date on them with the ones in your SH5 data folder. If they're the same, the mod did install properly. If they're not, they installed somewhere else. Do a search for the filenames and see if you can find where they went.

I read you should not install SH5 on your C Drive.

I run mods fine on a Win7 os. My question would be does he have admin rights on the computer?

They did not install properly since I manually replaced original files with mods files and now the mods works fine.
