using new version of JSGME, cannot get mods to load

Now, if I open my MODS folder, and click on the individual mods, I get these addresses:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\RSRDC_TMO_V502

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\3D TDC and Radar Range Unit v1.02

Now, if I click on the individual folders for the mods inside my MODS folder, I get these addresses:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2\TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2

Inside that folder I have two folders, "data" and "documentation".

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\RSRDC_TMO_V502\RSRDC_TMO_V502

Inside that folder, I have two folders, "data" and "support".

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\3D TDC and Radar Range Unit v1.02\3D TDC and Radar Range Unit v1.02

Inside that folder, I have one folder, "support".


Now, am I supposed to have those mod folders for each mod outside the MODS folder, in the main SH IV folder?

as previously described you have double folders in your mods.

note the ones i highlighted and move them to your desktop then open each one and take the "inner" or actual mod folder and move that folder into jsgme then everything will work



Now, when you click on the individual folders for the mods inside the MODS folder, you should get these addresses:

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2

Inside that folder you have two folders, "data" and "documentation".

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\RSRDC_TMO_V502

Inside that folder, you have two folders, "data" and "support".

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS\3D TDC and Radar Range Unit v1.02

Inside that folder, you have two folders, "data" and "support".

Here is what I did after my last post, before anyone replied. I went to JSGME and disabled my mods. Then I went to the MODS folder and deleted all three mods that were in it. Went back to JSGME and made sure they were gone. Went back to my SH IV folder, and moved the three mods folders that were outside the MODS folder into the MODS folder. Then I opened JSGME again, and enabled all three mods, in the correct order again, TMO, then RSRD, then 3D TDC. I have not played yet, but I ran SH IV. It showed TMO as active, I checked the quick missions, and I have missions named after boats that are described in historical context, dates, locations, and all.

So I think I've solved the problem, I'll try to play for a while and then report.

One thing I did notice. On the old hard drives with Windows 2K Pro and an older version of JSGME, when I opened JSGME the first time, it found all of the available mods by itself. This time, with Windows XP Pro, and the latest version of JSGME, I had to import all three mods to JSGME, every time I tried to use JSGME and the mods.

Thank you all for your help.

I finally had a chance to actually play a single mission. It appears that everything is working properly. Well, except for my torpedo shooting skills.
