No, no, no. No to install. I did not spot if you use New UIs for TDC as I quickly scanned past posts. Unless you see some advantage to installing these TDW***.dlls to the root folder, see a benefit without the use of New UIs for TDC being installed as a mod?

I now use the patcher, and enable/change whatever I want and close the patcher. Now I use JSGME to install the 'mod'. Whenever I want to add or remove a mod, I first disable the 'patcher mod', which should bring my game folder back to pre-patch state, and then I disable/update the rest of my mods.

I do a similar thing as a mod for TDW patcher using JSGME as long as instructions (for our newbie or rookie subsimmers out there) are followed on how to enable individual patches for TDW patcher.
