Can you explain the word "vanilla". In French, this correspond to a spice and I d'not understand the relationship with SHIV.
Thanks.

Vanilla is without added flavors, SH4 vanilla is without MODS.

That's right if you are not happy with the plate put in front of you spice it up. You may find its not that bad after all.

Read the mod threads and read me's every one ive come across is pretty straight forward on what its compatable with and what its not. Mod soup is noones fault but laziness. SH 3 and 4 are poor with out at least game fixes mods. and the super mods and enviornment mods turn them into jems. I have 2 versions of SH4 installed so I can play TMO on one comp and OM on the other.

And Im not trying to be an ass. but whats the point of putting up a thread saying the game sucks in your opinion in a forum for that game. Either ask a specific question that might alieviate your problems, or dont bother posting. With all the hard work that the modders have pored into the game doesnt justify posts saying it "sucks". Most of the people, modders and simmers alike are very eager to help people get the most out of these games. And Id have already ignored the games as crap had I not found this forum.

Most of your "points" of why the game sucks are "this sucks that sucks" talk about using the word in the definition. Yes we know the stock campaigns are alittle poor, hence the super mods. The game is a world war 2 sub simulation. What other orders did you expect to recieve as a uboat captain other than go sink ships with the ocasional recon. "all the merchants are armed" its a war..... and after a certain date yea most of them will be armed. would you captain a merchant ship in know areas of uboat operation and do so unarmed.

If you have any interest in the game rework your reasons for it sucking to questions on how to improve and you'll prob get alot of us to offer you help. But sounds your not interested in this kinda game.

One final note that to me just makes it all sound like a troll is you say "Your sorry you bought SHIV" But in the first line you state it was given to you for christmas.

So you shouldnt have anything to be sorry about.

......what exactly did you think a subsim would entail regarding its missions? The odd recon/drop off yup, save the odd downed pilot yup, but these were the exceptions rather than the rule.

Sink ships, specifically merchant ships was their primary mission, aka: interdict enemy shipping whereever it is found.

Yes, the stock version of the game "sucked" and can be frustrating. Conversely adding a mish-mash of mods can also be frustrating if not done correctly.
