New to SH5, overwhelmed by all the mods

kwijibo55 · 01-11-11, 10:26 AM

Hi everyone, I'd like some advice on what mods to install. I checked http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...49#post1286049
but there's so many of them!! I don't care that much for super realism, I mostly want the mods that will fix the game and remove the major annoyances. With all the mods I'm kinda scared that they won't all work together and I'll get weird bugs.

I'd probably give TDW's Magnum Opus a whirl: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=176123

I'll start with that, from what I understand JSGME is kinda required?

I don't think it's required, but it certainly makes things a lot easier. Plus, if you don't like the mod, JSGME makes it a one click process to remove it.

Trust me, You want JSGME. It's free, and it does everything you can do (and a little more), and it do it WAY quicker than you ever could! And it's super simple to use!

can you tell us a little more of what you want the game to do ( or not do) and some idea of what sort of player you are, are you more interested in hoping on for a while and making things go boom. are you the type of person who likes to do all the math and sit and wait for the exact moment to strike and send a bunch of ships to the bottom, cause what mods you use is determined a lot by play style. and there is nothing wrong with one style or the other. the reason I say this is that a mod I might find essential may do something that you don't care about at all. so let us know what annoys you about the stock game and we can go from there. hope to hear from ya soon and welcome to the world of silent hunter 5. the un cut diamond in the rough of wwII sub games.
