Getting back into SH5, basic help needed!

IcyWaters · 06-29-15, 01:38 PM

Hello guys!! Long time no... post! My last post on this forum was made in April 2012 so it's been a good few years indeed!

I'm looking to play SH5 again but I suspect a lot of things have changed since 2012? Is there a one-stop shop of mods that I can just download and play? I'd like to get to playing SH5 as soon as possible rather than spend days and days testing and comparing mods that is why I am asking for recommendations.

I'm currently downloading the install files for SH5 (damn uPlay) and I've already got JSGME ready.

So please help out a returning simmer! I'm looking for must-have mods or fixes to the game as well as maybe one or two big mods that improve on realism and graphics.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello THEBERBSTER!

I actually clicked on the link on your sig, but I'm not sure if I should do all that you have listed or just the ones that sound interesting?

Anyway, thanks for the link to that mod... I was confused at first because I thought I'd need a DLC for SH5 but then I just realized now I was thinking about Wolves of the Pacific for SH4.

I guess I'll start with Wolves of Steel then!

Hi IcyWaters

You will not be disappointed with this excellent mega mod.

Cannot be used if you are Steam user unless you install the Generic File Patcher work around.

Just follow the TWOS installation instructions on post #1

If you want to see the Target Identity icon that enable this mod last.

I got the game via Ubi, so I guess that's easier.

Just using the WoS mod, I don't seem to have the "Conversion Table Knots in Meters per Minute (Seite 2)" in my navigation map. All I have is the ship ID booklet. How do I get Seite 1 and 2 to show up?

I also cannot adjust heading by using the mousewheel, so I have to click on the compass many times until I chance upon the correct heading I want. What's going on here?
