Well, so far I download the "NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_TheDarkWraith" and got very over whelmed, I changed the clock face or dial face , but it had a .dds file there already. There was also about 6 or so other mods that I had to read up on and went to sleep in the process. Think I'd better wait a while on that.

On a more positive note, I've found that using low time compression , I'm able to take a nap going and coming from the North Sea.That's defiantly peeked my interest.

And one more thing, what are you guys using to edit ".sim " files ???

Goblin Editor (it is a tool released together with the game; you can find it in the root SH5 directory), or Silent 3ditor. More experienced modders also use to hex edit them, but going by what you said in your first post, it doesn't seem to be a viable solution for you

Using Goblin is really easy once you understand how it works: there is not really much to learn about it. I suggest you reading the Complete Idiots Guide to Goblin Editor before you start messing with it. It contains instructions on how to set the editor the first time you use it, and some general information on how to open and edit sim, zon, etc, files.

P.S: something not written in the tutorial: if your OS has the Aero theme enabled, and Goblin's drop-down boxes are flickering, follow the instructions below:
