The way it is or something I did?

Hi all,

I’m a recent arrival. As many here I’ve been trying to get SH5 moded up so that it’s worth playing again. I’ve mostly played SH3. My mod list is basically Sober’s Mega Mod with a few changes. I’ve had issues getting it setup, but that’s fine. With the resources here and the search feature I’ve been able to get things straighten out and playing great. Or so I thought. I’m usually a do it yourselfer, but in this instance I think I need to ask for help.

The game was running smoothly on my first patrol doing the Coastal Waters Baltic Patrol. Went great, only CTD was when returning to Kiel, but I saw removing TDW Ship Inertia might fix it, and it did for me, so great, last change I’ve made to my list. This morning I started my second patrol, and decided to do "breaking the fortress". All was great. I spent many hours working my way into the bay, dodging destroyers that kept trying to jump on my back whenever I poked my head up for a little air. Great fun! Anyways, I found a nice spot, lined up great on a pair of Battleships that were parked. Got my shots off just right, a salvo of two torpedoes on each ship, timed so they’d all hit within a range of 10 seconds. I then immediately headed to a merchant ship that was also parked nearby, and tucked in near to it, to sit out any possible destroyer response. My fish hit perfectly and a cheer went out (mine), it was a beautiful sight in the early morning hours. I sat for only a couple of minutes to watch my handy work sink slowly, but then all of a sudden… CTD.

I got not errors on the DBGview either.

Since my last save was many hours before that because it’s been said not to save unless you’re on the surface and up top, which I couldn’t do for a long time because of all the baddies around. I lost allot of time invested into this attack. Very frustrating to say the least. But I've been dealing with video games one way or another for about 25 years now, so I know ... happens sometimes. But I would like to make sure I take steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again or I can at least minimize the chance. So, is there something I messed up when modding it that is obvious from my list? Or is this just the way it is? Any advice of things not to do while playing that tend to cause CTDs, like maybe I got too close to that merchant or something?

* Edit - Meant to also add that this is basically Sober's Mega Mod with a few changes.
