If you get that you're okay, because you can read the readme in the mod's folder and the game doesn't use it at all. There are others that are equally harmless. Sometimes it will overwrite something you didn't care about, or something you wanted overwritten anyway. Sometimes the problem can be solved by disabling the first mod and enabling them in the opposite order. Any time you receive a warning and it's a mod you would like to use, just ask here. Someone familiar with those mods will be glad to help you figure out whether it's safe or not.

thanks SS. at the moment though, it just seems to get harder and harder - and one problem i have is time alotment.
with my new system i can load SH3 in under two minutes and be out sailing. with SH5 as it is its crash and recover crash and recover. i have followed tutorials to the letter and still it does not function as described - maybe its just me?
i think some poeple are naturally conversant with technology, me on the other hand is not - and some of the instructions for enabling the SH5 mods are - at the moment, unfathomable to me. its like reading a foreign language!!
what encourages me though is the modders damned persistence to get this sim up to (A) SH3 standard and i whish them well. but maybe i will have to wait untill a GWX comes along - an all-in-one fix. coz im not sure if i can spend so much time going back to it again and again. the game itself looks beautiful and i think its on the right path, so it may take another 12-18 months, in my opinion, before a one-fix all comes along to help the techno-newb like me get on board.
but i have afunny feeling i'll keep pecking away at it now and again because i will not be able to leave it alone!

cheers
