For those in need of some gameplay help...

My SH4 is located in Documents, so I put JSGME in that folder. SH4 folder now contains two folders: 'data' and 'JSGME_ModEnabler'. JSGME has a 'MODS' folder. I pasted the Medals Fix mod into it. Opened JSGME and that was the only mod to activate. Activated the mod. Ran SH4 and it's still showing the stock game medals.

The SH4 in your documents is not the game folder. It's created the first time you play. It simply contains your saved games and configuration. Like I said, it's in your steam folder. look a few posts above, and put it in the main folder, default is what I posted without going into the mods folder.

reinforcing what 1Patriot posted, here is a screenshot of SH4 installed with JSGME.
notice the Data Folder and also the Mods folder which is created the first time you launch JSGME.
you place your mods under the \MODS folder shown.

The only Ubisoft folder I found on my computer was located in the Program Files (x86) folder. Did everything you guys said to do...added JSGME, ran it, placed the Medals Fix mod in the MODS folder, and then ran the game.


No luck...it's still showing the stock game medals. And I've tried doing this with two different medal fix mods for the stock game.

ok, that's one issue: "The only Ubisoft folder I found on my computer was located in the Program Files (x86) folder."

re-install SH4 in a different folder than one controlled by the Windows OS.
try something like C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4\

then install JSGME and then your mods.

Found SH4 in the Steam folder in the 'x86' folder. Tried installing it in a different folder, but Steam won't let me pick a different one. Did the same routine with the Steam folder version...JSGME, etc., etc. Nothing.


I've about had it with this BS. Nothing I'm doing is working. And this is my THIRD time reinstalling the game.

yeah, Steam complicates things.

i was hoping that one of the guys who is more adept working with Steam than i am would jump in here and offer a path to success for you.

give it a another day or so before you give up.
