Need some help with installing TMO 2.5

Ahoy everyone!

I love sub simulation games and I want to experience this wonderful mod that, after reading the notes, appears to be passionately made (maybe even fanatically!

)

I must start by saying I am a mod_installing_noob. This is my first mod and I am at a loss for what I have done wrong. Let me give you as much info as possible.

I have the latest version of SH4 (Yes, the Uboat add-on)

I have downloaded and unzipped the TMO mod. (On my desktop.)

I have installed JSGME and I placed it in the main directory of my game

(Example: Steamapps, Common, SH4, JSGME)

I have made another folder in the SH4 directory called "MODS" (It matches JSGME)--I think that's what the instructions tell me to do.

I have placed the TMO mod (by drag and drop) into the JSGME MODS folder.

I did start JSGME.

I DID "activate" the mod. (according to JSGME).

However! When I tried to activate the mod for the first time, JSGME froze and crashed. Although, on the second attempt, it "activated"--not sure if that matters.

When I start the game up in steam, it's just the vanilla Uboat.

Is there supposed to be an exe file or something? Ahhh, what to do...

Perhaps I need simple step-by-step instructions for daft people

As a disclaimer, I must say I really appreciate this site! The amount of free content is incredible and I am thinking I will use this site for a lot of stuff once I become mod competent.

Once I get the TMO mod working on my computer, I promise to make a donation to this site.

Thanks for the help!
