Very Confused On TMO modding

[sortofredhead]

I have just started back into SH4.

I have SH4 1.5 installed fresh. I looked at board and decided to try the TMO Mod. Candidly after downloading, reading the "read me's" and seeing all the different patches, I have become straight up confused. I could use some assistance please.

I have TMO 2.5 (and all the mods that came with it). Are all these required mods that came with it the latest and correct versions to use? Ie EAX, Nav Map TMO Mod and its update, Radio Messages, etc
I have the TMO 2.5 patch also.

Are there any other compatible add on mods that work with TMO 2.5 that you would suggest that would add to the game experience?

Thank you for any help one might have.

your choice of additional mods to TMO 2.5 is personal choice. just make sure that the mod is TMO 2.5 compatible. it should that. if you are unsure, try it out, and if you encounter bad results or a CTD (crash to desktop), then back off that mod.

it is generally accepted that you use a 4 gig enhancement tool such as LAA, which can be found in the MODS forum under LAA or Large Address Aware.

also, it is generally accepted that you use JSGME to manage your mods. it can also be had her in the MODS forum.

back to TMO 2.5. for comparisons sake, here is my current config for 2.5.

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Ubisoft\TMO_2_5\MODS]

100 TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
101 1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for TMO 2.5
102 1.5_OTC for 16 to 9 Aspect Ratio_TMO
104 EZ Plot V2.0
300 RSRD ver 5 for TMO
301 RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
400 Webster's Eliminate Floating Plankton
450 jimimadrid Torpedos

good luck,

Thank you for your response. in looking at your list, I notice that you did not have the TMO 2.5 patch 1 or the Nav Map TMO Update and its patch. My understanding was that these were "necessary" to play TMO 2.5. Is that not the case?

One last question, can you briefly tell me what the RSRDC mod adds to your game experience please?

Thanks again

i have TMO 2.5 running version 3.5. it's complicated.
check the Documentation folder in the TMO Mod folder for Version Change Logs.
you may running with a higher "version" also.

RSRD (Run Silent Run Deep) is another pseudo-realism layer.
it adds a lot of stuff (technical term) to TMO.
there are several versions of RSRD, each tailored to a specific mega-mod.
i've zipped and uploaded the RSRD Support folder for you to peruse at your leisure.

The TMO 25 patch is only for TMO alone, not with RSRDC.

If you use RSRDC, you don´t need that patch.

Suggestion: why you do not try TMO Bublehead Version? (the "BH" version of TMO).

An enhanced TMO with easier install and great stuff. With this mod you don´t use RSRDC.

Regards.

Actually I downloaded TMO Update BH 2.0 megamod, which is the one you are referencing, right? I also downloaded the TMO Update BH V2.0 PATCH 01 and TMO Update BH README REVISED9302021. These are all I need for the version of TMO BH? Thank you.
