Getting Ready For My First Time With SHIII...

05-19-13, 02:37 AM

Hey all,

I'm preparing for my maiden voyage with Silent Hunter III and I wanted your advice. I've currently got the game installed, GWX 3.0 installed to the Steam Directory of the game and SH3 Commander also installed to the Steam Directory of the game.

I'd like to know first, if that was the right way to install them, and second what other modifications are out there in the Silent Hunter III universe that would deepen the immersion and experience of the game that will also be compatible with the two listed above?

Thanks for any given assistance!

Hi and welcome,
I recently returned to SH3 again but my previous playing was with just the stock version, so this time I have added GWX and Commander. I cant advise on the correct directory for the steam version as mine was a late disc version, but the mods I have running with my young type IIA career are a selection of the gwx included options along with
Radio Deutschland/England
Thomsons Sound Pack 3.2
Lifeboat and debris 4
Lord Haw Haw British invasion looms (although Im not sure if this is working)
IIa tune up.
I tried Flakmonkeys type II interiors 2 & 3 but could not seem to get them to work
And ofcourse Jsgme (mod enabler)

Good luck Bert.

Edit, in the time it took me to post Ninja has posted a far more impressive list of mods that Im definately going to try some of.

Sorry for stealing your thunder, bertieck

Yes don't forget JSGME for enabling mods.

For immersion I thoroughly recommend the following:

sobers green waves
Extreme Wet Weather Gear Mod
Thomsen's Sound Pack V3.2cg
Seafloor SF V3 Final
LifeBoats&Debris_v4
Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71
Wooden_Lifeboats_Mod_1.1

I haven't tried flakmonkeys's interior mod. Some have encountered problems so I can't advise

JSGME is already included in GWX3.0 but the latest version can be got from here:
