For me, after 8 month of being abstinent to SH5, it took some time to get in with all the good new work from modders. I has to read a lot of threads and has to look for the right installation orders.
As SH5 cames out and I startet the first time with pimping the game with mods from here, I had made a base-pack of mods for the JSGME. The content was a basic set of Mods I wasn't able to live without them. As I returned 2 weeks ago to Sh5 and Subsim, I took my base-modpack, installed it via JSGME and trained me again to play SH5.

So, what do you think about a base-modpack for beginners of SH5? We could implement some must haves, not to much, but also enough, that a new member could easily join the world of a modded and better SH5 than stock.

If the pack would generally accepted, we could do a monthly or bimonthly version, which includes the actual versions of the implemented parts.

The goal of my proposal is not to make a new "Supermod" like RUB, RDA or Magnum Opus. It has to be only a good "that is all you need at this time" Mod.

The content has to be defined later, I only wants to start a discussion about the need of such a pack.

Cheers,
Paco.

I agree, good suggestion !!!

Here comes my suggestion for a Beginner MOD-Pack:

Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 + Patch_2
FX_Update_0_0_16_2_ByTheDarkWraith
IRAI_0_0_30_ByTheDarkWraith
AirTorpedoes
TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbances_v2_0_SH5
U-boat Historical Specifications 1.8 for TDW Mods
NewUIs_TDC_6_5_1_ByTheDarkWraith

That´s it !

Only for german-user included in Beginner-Package:

Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1_DEUTSCHMOD_0.9

In my opinion not too many MODs, but the most important Stock-Bugs are solved with this MOD-Order !

Best regards,
Magic

Perhaps a little bit too much in a Basemod. MO is not finished.

We could start with something like this:

- An UI-Mod
- a Lite Campaign
- some better environment
- 2 or three mods, that fix issues with boats and the ingame ai.

Cheers,
Paco.

Dunno... MO might be not finished, but it workes like a charm.

Yes, maybe you´ve right....!

But I thought, MO as Base is for Beginners a "Must Have" too !

Best regards,

MO is a must have mod for sure

Yes !

Ok,

my suggestion was to build one package with the mods listed above by Magic. Or do we provide a short linklist with the mods?

If we put them in one modpack, so we have to ask the different modders for permission to use their work.

Greets,
Paco.

Agreed, I wrote a similar thread requesting a begginer's Modpack. I proposed Magic1111 suggestion due to it's simplicity, but obviously the contents of this list will need to be discussed by the community. One thing is for sure whatever the content of the mod-pack is, we need one! Two recent threads in the SH5 forum alluded to this problem as the reason for quitting.

Paco i am a beginner with SH5 (an expert player in SH4 and 3).
I would be so much grateful for one mod pack which would include all the things necessary to make the game playable. Only installing all the mods made me uneasy and unsure if i did it correctly and since i was lost in order of installing them via GSJME i spent entire day dealing with it. And by the end of the day i had so many doubts if i want to play SH5 at all since it seems so unfinished that i need all this endless list of mods and reading and configuring. Honestly it scared me away a lot even before i got the game. But since i play SH3 and SH4 and love them enormously i got SH5. And after all the mods installs and configs i played it a bit... and put back on shelve. I'm not sure if i installed the mods correctly (followed all the instructions) not sure if installed all the mods needed.
But somehow during gameplay i so much not sure if i did it all good. SH4 modded feels like sim while SH5 somehow gives me a feeling that it's less sim then SH4 despite all the nice things SH5 have in it for "feel".
May be all the mods installs and configs gave me that weird feeling of being unsure about SH5.
I would very very much appreciate one pack all in one single install (or two tops) and would certainly give SH5 another try since somehow i'm sure it can be really great subsim game.
Please someone make it happen!
