Where do I begin?

Lord_Kitchener · 10-22-11, 02:45 PM

Recently getting back into SH3, I have a mod folder that has 22 GB of files!! It is mind boggling!..

Fish In The Water · 10-22-11, 02:58 PM

One step at a time...

And welcome back!

You could do a lot worse than downloading this free mod enabler for a start:

Actually imho it's 'must have'.

Lord_Kitchener · 10-22-11, 05:41 PM

Thanks guys, I've got jsgme and GWX. The New Interiors is really cool...but it seems to be killing a lot of other mods

I'll just keep tinkering..maybe one day I can play again

Jimbuna · 10-22-11, 06:21 PM

For the bigger mods you'll need 4GB if you haven't alreadt and the patch to force your rig to access it.

Lord_Kitchener · 10-22-11, 08:32 PM

I still have the starforce version..been so many years I had forgotten. The 4 GB patch won't work. What is the reloaded version? This is the first I have ever heard of it.

It was originally a 'cracked' version which has since been sanctioned by Ubi as the 'official' way to play without the DVD in the drive. Details can be found in this thread:

Thanks Fish, Instructions say I have to uninstall the game..

Here we go again! By the way, do you know of a decent landscape mod? The trees are awful!

One alternative is to purchase a newer Starforce-free copy.
http://www.amazon.com/Encore-16560-S...9384848&sr=1-2

When I bought it in a store it was ten bucks, and still the best money I ever spent, game-wise anyway. Use the link in my sig and Neal will get a (tiny) piece of the action.

Lord_Kitchener · 10-23-11, 01:07 PM

Sorry Steve .. already patched it this morning. I can't believe I waited 6 years to do this! Is that slack or what???

Sailor Steve · 10-23-11, 07:31 PM

Now you need to the start menu and do a search for Starforce. A year after I installed the SF-free version someone told me to do that. You know what? Still in the registry.

Lord_Kitchener · 10-23-11, 09:37 PM

I used the sfdrvrem.exe. removal thing..search turned up nothing. Now I am going through my mod folder trying to organize, smoke, water, flags, sounds...it's overwhelming

Fish In The Water · 10-24-11, 12:26 AM

Yup, it's definitely a work in progress. Just when I think my game is finally 'set,' I discover a whole new can of worms to get into. I'm not complaining mind you as it keeps me busy, plus I enjoy the quest (for the perfect game) just as much (if not more

) then actually playing.
