SO 7 yrs later it is installed on a new computer and I am trying to get the mods to work which looks really cools from all the input from the developers. GWX installed fine but nothing else so far seems to work. I am sure most of it is me since I am not a gamer and no very little about tweeking files and mods. So any help for newbies is welcome for sure.

Yes all careers going from a single copy of SH3 need to be in port between patrols because any changes to the game files will cause the game to crash when resuming a patrol at sea. The save was based off the the old file set and will conflict with the new set, thus causing the game to crash. Once the changes are made while in port, you can resume the careers.

Ok....after trying different things to get the mods to work on JSGME I found the solution. I had to right mouse click the SH3 icon on my desktop and tell it to run as administrator. Once I did that, the mods are working. So my question now is once I add additional mods will I have to go back and do that request again (to run as admin) or will that be the default now.

From the start menu, find SH3 and right click. Select Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab. Check "Run this program as an administrator" Click OK.
Sink ships.
