Simply deactive everything for it, then clear out the 'MODS' folder, then drop in what's needed to set up for v1.7p3... or simply set up a separate SH4 set up, provided that you have a unmodded virgin copy of SH4 to work with.

As for your career, from v1.46....

" " Version 1.7p3 of Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate :

Note: This mod is NOT compatible with previous versions of itself. " "

So... Say goodbye to that career saves... Meaning, it's toast.

Now, there is a couple of .cfg files you can keep... But, those are for settings such as graphics, gameplay settings, & main settings... which have no connections to the previous mod version incarnation...

Note : am not at My pc, to list which files out of the save folder to keep, exactly. Sorry... But, know it's at baseline minimum of 2... or 3, that can be kept all the rest... Dump.

propbeanie, s7rikeback, KaleunMarko... can expand on that info...

Hope this info, is helpful...

I dont expect my current career to carry over to the new version or can I?

Thanks!

Frank,
i would treat any new release of any mega-mod as if it is a brand new mega-mod. others have posted a list previously but i will repeat it here. you can use the previous release SH4 installation if:
  1. you back out all mods for the installation using JSGME
  2. check the JSGME backup folder and ensure that it is empty of files.
  3. remove the older release mods from the JSGME Mods folder. if you want to keep them for historical purposes, i suggest that you zip them and then delete them, keeping the zip.
  4. delete the entire Save Folder for the installation in your Documents folder. Yes, delete everything from the three-letter-name on-down.
  5. recreate your Save folder using MultiSH4
  6. copy your new release mods into the JSGME Mods folder and proceed from there.
