It is all a matter of what you prefer.....like it was or like you want it.

I strip out the parts of the major mods I like and use them while discarding the things that bore me.....like patroling seemingly empty oceans.

Life is too short to play by someone else's rules...if it feels bad don't do it...to paraphrase a counter culture catchphrase...

Agreed. Try SH4 without mods first, to see what you like and don't like about the game. It seems the going trend for new players is to load up all the super mods because they 'fix' SH4, then complain about something they don't like which is very often a mod by-product.

These mods do fix some issues, but also add alot of 'preference fixes', such as realism, etc. If you read the readme files, the author usually points this out as well. I myself just rip out the changes I want from the super mods because, well, that's just the way I like to play the game.

The super mods are great pieces of work, but if you don't know what it's changing, then how could you possibly appreciate it?
