LSH3 and GWX

It appears you have had some problems with LSH that are not typical. A lot of people around this forum use LSH and there are not a lot of reports of problems, so I'd guess the mod itself is not defective. I have LSH installed (along with GWX and NYGM), although I haven't played it much. For me, it went in clean and gave no problems setting up. I assume you did a complete uninstall of GWX-SH3, then reinstalled SH3 and loaded LSH? Once you install GWX, your stock SH3 installation is permanently altered and can't be used for anything else. I've found the best way to try various megamods is to make a clean install of SH3, patched to v1.4. Then make a copy of the complete game folder, use multiSH3 to create a separate savegame folder, and add your mods to the copy. That way, you don't get any interference from a previous mod, and you always have a clean install to revert to if (when) you need it. All you sacrifice is some disk space.

I can't speak for the features of LSH, but I know people like it - and it is active and a new version is under development. If you are interested in finding out what it is about, I'd suggest it might be worth another try.
