More help please

[Marshall Ney]

I have been fiddling with mods, getting use to stock SH4, etc,etc. So, I decided to try putting a second copy of SH$ on my c-drive. I downloaded both regular TMO mod and TMOTW one and loaded each one, but not both together. AND I get no indication that when I launch game and arrive at main menu that either mod is active. I have 2 separate files not on program areas and two separate shortcuts. However, after launching the 2nd one w/TMOTW I noticed that the "load a game " was enabled. When I clicked on it, I see the saves from mod#1 I have been playing last day or so. I saw on a YouTube video that on main game screen there is a notation of TMO mod in this area, even though it's only credits. Some notation should be there correct??? Is there a way to correct this, or what?? I have windows 10 and both of these new files of SH4/1.5 are out any program files, directly to C-drive. The first modded one is from old gold disc I had of SH4. However, second file for TMO mod is copied from Steam files, which is also on my computer also.

I hope I have given enough info to possibly help. In advance, thanks,

Make ready for sea and shove off with the tide.
Good luck! and Good Hunting!

The way I read this, you have 2 SH4 games installed in different directories.

Unless you're using the Multi Install setup (Prop and/or Marco can help you on that), each installed game will use the same Save folder (SH4/... ) in your documents folder.

yes, that is exactly what i am saying.

if you decide to try TMO simultaneously, then you need to implement MultiSH4. there is plenty of documentation on that already. Check out Theberbster's post.

First, thanks for all who have helped me the last week.

After reading over the amount of effort&time to run multiple mods, I found my mind becoming numb. So, I just deleted all libraries of SH4 and just installed a clean new one from my disc. Then launched game, and then loaded up TMOwTw and it's running just fine. I see the "ghost of the Japanese coast" on loading screen. I am happy with this, because when I thought I wanted to come to SH4, the mod I thought I was going to use, was TMO. But I'll try this and see how it goes.

The important thing, after getting out of the Windows "Program Files" folder and then mod activation, is to empty the Save folder by deleting its contents ("C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4"). The game re-creates the folder and its contents upon re-start, and then "plays" the game from that new info. If you don't clear the Save folder, then the game uses a mix of what you had before, and some of the new info, which can result in oddities or crashes...
