Trigger Maru 1.62 No Contacts???

Hi all and thanks in advance,

I've been playing SH4 for several months now with JSGME and individual mods. Many people have stated the Trigger Maru packs are the best so I decided to go in that directioin.

Captains LOG:
-complete uninstall of any traces of SH4 and Mods
-new install of SH4
-patch to 1.3
-install JSGME and update to latest version 1.7
-install Trigger Maru GFX
-install Trigger Maru 1.6
-install Trigger Maru 1.62

As far as the performance and graphics go, everything is very very good. However, I can go for days (game time) without any contacts. I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or if that's the way it's supposed to be. I've read all the FAQs and Features stuff that I could find on the Trigger Maru packs but didn't see anything about not finding anything to shoot at. Could someone give me a hint as to why my SH4 is completely boring after the TM patches?
