Can you patch and mod SH3 if you bought it on Steam?

Not to sound stupid

but what would I have to do differently to get the Grey Wolves 3.0 mod to work?

I see that I have to download about 9 different files and then an exe file. Will it automatically find the steam download or do I have to manually tell it where to look? If I have to manually do it... how do I do it?

Final question in this post: Is the Grey Wolves 3.0 mod worth it? I never installed a mod when I originally played SH3 so I'm sure I'm behind the times compared to most of the posters on this forum.

Make sure all the .bin files (should be 7) and the .exe (just the one) are in the same place, run the .exe and all should be revealed, I think you have to point it at the steam directory as timmy41 mentioned earlier.

Where did you get GWX from? As far as I'm aware Jimbuna's signature link to FileFront is the only reliable source.

Most things that are wrong in the original SH3 are fixed/improved, anything that isn't is hard-coded and mods can do nothing for. GWX or any other supermod (LSH, WAC, NYGM) are indeed classed by the vast majority as a 'must'!

GWX is definately worth it - it is the only supermod I've used so far but the others certainly have their praises sung!

I haven't downloaded the mod yet... I googled it and when I read that I had to be patched to 1.4 first I tried doing that... only to find out (Thanks to this great forum

) that Steam already had it patched.

Now I have a link to get the mod... I couldn't ask for anything more than this forum has provided!
