Guidance on mods for SH V

Abd_von_Mumit · 09-13-10, 11:48 AM

I know the quantity of available mods can be puzzling. Check this thread:

and see which mods are most widely used.

Pay special attention to "New UIs" and "HiDef Interface" mods - these two are 2 popular mods changing interface, check their threads to see which one would suit you better.

Whole the rest is just options.

I am puzzling over this one myself, I guess as a community we are spoilt for choice by two great mods. Which one have you opted for and why?

While HiDef is better eye-candy wise and resembles my favourite SH3 mods I loved closer, it is purely an interface mod with not much more in it.

New UIs is far inferior aesthetically to HiDef, but is even farther superior when it comes to wealth of functionalities it offers. Scripts, configurability (!!!), flexibility (HiDef can be played only by manual targeters, while NEW UIs doesn't bring any of such restrictions), and many more NEW UIs' elements made it my choice. Frankly speaking, I didn't even need a minute to make my mind.
