U-Boat crew talking English not German?

Well, to start, yeah uninstalling the mods with JSGME before installing the next patch is widely agreed to be a good plan. Plus it's easy as pie with that program. Just make sure if you have a ton of stuff in your mod folder to export to a txt file the mods you have running before the uninstall of everything. Might save you a small headache later.
Secondly, I haven't turned my synch saves off myself... but I do remember reading a doom-sayer saying that if you did, and then turned it back on, you stand a good chance of losing save files. Maybe even the important ones that you want to continue.
Wish I had a more definite answer for you. Well, since the new patch is coming out soon, maybe you could take one for the team and find out

I think a lot of people will be wanting to start a new campaign once the new patch is out anyway so now might be a good time?

Ya, I would not be upset at having to start out again even if I lost my saves. However if I did it I am not sure I would represent what was possible compared to some of the very much more computer savvy people we have populating these forums. I am willing to give it a go still though

You could keep asking around, there's really some impressive minds lurking in these subsim waters. I'm sure you could find a solution with a bit of patience and the right member.
If you do decide to go for it, good luck man. Let us know how it goes...
and I'm real sorry if you lose everything because of me

Will give it a go if it turns out the new patch requires it.
If I lose everything it is all good and I would only have myself to blame. Besides I am one of those guys that isn't happy unless I restart my campaign a few dozen times anyway. I play for a while, have an 'oh, so that is how it works!' moment and then restart and apply what I learned. Rinse and repeat.

And in the end this may not even be necessary, but is good to chat about it here regardless

Forsooth, I'm the same way. Played SH4 to death for years and I'm ashamed to admit that, although I got close several times, I don't think I ever played it through to the "War is Over, Go Home and Have a Beer" message.
The joy is in the small things with these games, not the victory message.
