Hello gungunx,

in this case i might invite you to use the fully complete and satisfying SuperMOD LSH3V5.1 featured with 25+ MODS for Atmosphere, Environment and GUIs.

Just klick my signature or have a look here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...57&postcount=1

"Depends on how you define "Must Have". I'm currently using on the order of 60 mods. How many of them are truly essential? To me, all of them. To someone else, some or none of them. You have to decide for yourself what "Must Have" means."

That's a part of the reply I gave one of the dozens of other times someone started a thread with that question. This time I'm going to suggest you use the Subsim search function, Advanced Search, type in the three words "must", "have", and "mods", and click "Thread Titles Only".

You might also want to decide if you simply want to play stock/vanilla SH3 with additional mods or try one of the supermods out there such as GWX, NYGM etc.

Have a look around the community forum for anything that might take your interest.

Plenty of conflicts, and it took me about 2 years to find the best combination of mods that allows me to play as I like without CTD. If I really want to add another mod which then causes CTD I put some time and effort into making it compatible or have to choose between a couple of favourites.

86 of the mods are ships, aircraft or ship related mods (such as LibSh42010) out of an original collection of around 120. The ones that caused CTDs had to be deleted with some difficult choices made...

Very few or my old rig wouldn't take it.

Fortunately it's the sense of triumph as the loading screen fades to the control room after 10, 15, 20 or 25 consecutive CTDs that I remember. My wife has completely different memories, usually of me swearing at the latest CTD or staying up all night trying yet another cunning plan to get the verdammt mod to synch in with the rest. Bloody SH3 and it's cranky engine...

Steering us gently back onto topic, the must have mod for me is h.sie's realism mod at http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...32#post1695532. It greatly increases realism and I haven't seen anyone report compatibility issues so it appears to be stable.
