The only "required" file is the "100 Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate v1.8" 7-zip file. Put that in a MODS folder with a fresh SH4 install, unzip it, and activate via JSGME. The "101 FotRSUv1.8 FixPak" edits a few files, but is NOT required. However, it is a small file, and does fix some over-sights missed with the v1.8 release.

The "AddInModzPak" is a set of add-in mods that change certain aspects of the game, as the user desires, such as harder AI response, or easier AI response, more flexible manual targeting, stock NavMap colors, or TMO-style targeting with "dots" on the NavMap instead of ship boxes and shapes, etc. NOT required to have.

Nippon Maru and Nihon Kaigun are add-in mods that are NOT required. The mods alter the Japanese ship naming nomenclature, such that a ship is identified as a "Nippon Maru" instead of the anglicized "plain" names, and with the Nihon Kaigun mod, each of the warship classes are split into separate ships, such as all four of the Furutaka class are identified individually, with period appropriate flagging, such as if an admiral used a specific ship as a flagship, you will see that flag flying from the yardarm. Neither of those mods has any "specific" traffic patterns, but that is planned for the future.

The "Fleetboat Interior - Officer's Quarters" mod combines the player's submarine interior files into one, and adds more sections forward that the player can then "walk" through, such as the officer's mess and bunk rooms. The S-Boat class has a full interior, including forward torpedo room, and the engine / motor rooms. Very cool stuff, but again, NOT required.

One of the original design criteria for the mod was for the player to be able to set things the way they want, as easy or difficult as they'd like, with as many bells and whistles as they'd like. It's not easy getting to that point, and we are definitely not finished. Be sure and notice that the first post in this thread, and the download page both have "Spoiler" tags that can be clicked, which will then display more instructions / information. The mod itself has quite a few pdf files in the Support and other sub-folders to help with install, activation and playing aspects with the mod.
