Help installing mods

muskie46 · 12-11-12, 01:49 PM

I need help finding information on what I need to install mods. I have sh4 gold 1.5. Where to start? Folders, jsgme. Will winzip work? I'm not sure if I should start with TMO, RFB or just a tools mod or something like that. If I should be looking elsewhere on the forum, please let me know.

I create a folder in sh4 folder in documents. Anything I download, the compressed file goes there. I put jsgme directly in the main sh4 file, just follow the directions. jsgme, when installed and set up, will create a "MODS" folder in the main sh4 folder. When you unpack the downloads, put them their. They should show up in jsgme. Be careful because TMO has a folder of options and OTC has multiple options. You need to put just the options you want in the folder.

use 7zip not winzip or winrar

winrar often corrupts mod files that were compressed with 7zip as most mods are
