Thankyou for your replies fellow kaleun's, some good advice.

Making it into a downloadable document would be the way to do it.
Screenshots - would be used extensively, easier to understand especially with the language problem.
Supermods - Have been well supported. I will however show installations including preparation, organising, multi-installations etc
Sh3Commander - installation, updating, installing mods via date or randomised i.e. music, radio news etc.
Setkeys - adding addition keys-commands i.e TC to max & 32x (or less), multi-command to one key.
Sh3Generator - installation, using, other possibilities.
Organising Mod folder - Having been a Simcity fan, keeping your mods organised is important to avoid CTD's.
Installing mods correctly - Demonstrations on mod installations showing procedures and recognising conflicts.
Merging conflicting mods - Using utilities for finding file differences and merging them to make both mods work using demonstrations i.e. menus, dials, camera dat files. Including explanations of files contained data.
Adding your own mod ideas - After learning the above, making your own simple mods or customising mods.

I started with no knowledge of SHIII modding and what files did. I have learnt by investigating how other mods work, then testing them, eventually getting some of my own ideas. My experience now, although not as advanced as the regular modders, gives me confidence to do any modification and an understanding for fault finding. The idea of the manual is to help kaleuns to achieve this.
