Are you running Vista??

I am running Vista.

I got the folder to work, now the mods show up in the Mod Enabler but when I try to load the game I get a "Menu ID not found" error.

Don't enable all of them all at once. Enable them ONE AT A TIME. Start the game see if works, exit the game, enable the next mod. When the game gives you that error ... "Menu ID blah, blah", that is the one you will have to do without.

ok, I did that and its the Warships Retextured and the Pacific Environments mods that dont work. Now the question is, why is it not working? It has to have worked for someone out there, so why isnt it working for me?

In Vista after installing JSGME just run it once and the MOD folder will appear.

The Menu ID error is a MOD not compatible with the version of SH4 you are running, disable this mod and seek a solution.

Hi Darkranger, PE 2 includes the mod "Warships Retextured", so try uninstalling that before you enable PE 2 and it should work, you will still get the retextured warships.

DarkRanger85,

Did you install the game in the "Programs File" folder. If you did, the vista security
protocols will not allow you to make changes unless you run everything in Administrator
mode.

My suggestion would be to uninstall SH4 and reinstall the game in a folder not in
the "Programs File" folder. This way you will bypass the security protocols. Install the
game in "Games" folder or something like that.
