Getting back into SH3 and need some mod advice

jpinard · 09-09-06, 08:08 PM

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I was on here and I'm pretty overhwlemed with the amount of mods now available. Last time I played I used various graphic mods... and was wondering "what" I should now consider must have mods (or is there a good condensed mod-packs?)

I didn't want to the game to be much harder... just more options I guess. This is what I used before:

* jsgme mod manager
* All of Ail's graphic work
* NeuUZO Peri v2
* Juju's military mod

Thanks a lot for the advice and direction!

Grey Wolves or NYGM are definitive a must!

What is NYGM? Is it compatible with Grey Wolves mod? Also does the Grey Wolves mod include the NYGM Periscope Mod v1.1 and CA's UBoat Instrument Patch v1

Here's a complete listing of inclusions: http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/TGW/inclusions.html

Whichever you choose, route them thru JSGME..that way when you wish to add Mods to other Mods and they are not compatible, JSGME will issue a warning and state what the problem/conflict is and if you wish to proceed etc.

GW, NYGM, WAC ? It's all down to personal choice [I have all 3 on seperate 'installations' plus Frontflotille 2.1 albeit Frontflotille is on a different Computer as it's a different kettle of fish to the others !].

Have a dabble (but 'back-up' as you go) and you will discover they all have their own unique attributes.

I thought the mods were nearly all inclusive... what do you think I would I want to use in addition to Grey Wolves?

Well, for example, I am just about to dabble with Drifters Realism Mod and add it to my Grey Wolves Mod via JSGME (fingers crossed); theres a considerable number of smaller Mods involving Smoke, Water, Texture etc. that are fine in their own right but not compatible with the big guys but it's all part of the fun finding out !

The Munster · 09-10-06, 02:00 AM

What I should have pointed out is the big guys don't get on; in other words, NYGM and GW cannot be used together; it's best to give the big guys their own little corner [seperate 'installations'].

jpinard · 09-10-06, 02:06 AM

OK. Drifters realism mod? Does it make the game even harder? linky?

The Munster · 09-10-06, 02:13 AM

Yes, from all accounts .. realistic repair times, recovery etc. I haven't got round to how to add a link yet but if you go into the Mod section, I think you will find it in there somewhere at the top of the list as a new version has just become available and it's a topic of conversation at the moment !
