Cool! Excellent install then. Just check your mod path then. You installed the game in "C:\SubSim\SH4", and there are several ways you can do things from there. If you do not have JSGME.exe, there is a copy of that in the mod's "Extras" folder. If you have JSGME already, just put it in the SH4 folder, and run it. It will prompt you to let it create a "MODS" folder, which it will then add it in the same folder level as the game, so that you will have Data, MODS, Registration Reminder, Resources, etc. You then put 100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate... mod in the MODS folder, extract it there, then run JSGME again, select the mod in the left-hand JSGME window, click the right-arrow button, and let it do its thing, which will take several minutes anyway to run. Once the 100_FalloftheRisingSun... text is in the right-hand window, then the mod is activated. You should now have LAA and MultiSH4 in the "root" folder of the game (C:\SubSim \SH4) for your use. First though, select the SH4.exe file, and the FileManager.dll file in the SH4 folder, and right-click on one of them. That should bring up a Context Menu. Choose Properties from that, and on the first "General" tab that it opens to, look for "Read-only" under the "Attributes" section, and meke certain the tick box is cleared. OK your way out, and the files are now write-enabled to where LAA and MultiSH4 can be used on them. If you are not making a new Save folder with MultiSH4, be certain to empty the game's Save folder, which defaults to "C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4", and delete everything below the SH4 folder level. The game runs off of the contents in that folder, and if there is already a file of the same name as the mod contains, JSGME will not over-write the existing file. That can result in an incomplete mod activation. For more info on that aspect, see the Support folder for those pdf files, or ask some specific questions here. Once the Save is cleared, you can run the mod. But you will have to re-set all the video settings...
