[Sjizzle]

Before install any mods or patch the game with TDW'S Generic Patcher do a clean fresh SH5 install.

• Before uninstall SH5 make a backup to the MODS folder which one is located in the main SH5 Folder.
• uninstalled SH5 and also Delete the old folder where SH5 was installed and also the folder located "C:\Users\UserProfile\Documents\SH5"
• Install again SH5 after the installation in complete go to "******\Silent Hunter 5\Support\" and run "gu.exe" to update the game to 1.2 if the update doesn't work u can always manually update the game to 1.2
• patch 1.2 manual download CLICK
• Start the game and wait to load the main menu and there u can see if it's patched to 1.2
  
• After the game is patched to 1.2 make a backup of the following files from the SH5 main folder
  - sh5.exe,
  - EventCamera.act,
  - SH_NClient.dll,
  - SH_NProtocol.dll,
  - SHCollisions.act,
  - SHControllers.act,
  - SHSim.act,
  - SHSound.act,
  - SHZoneEditor.act
• Now u can Start installing mod.

Which Mods should i install ?

if u are new to this game and u don't wanna mess up with tonnes of mods and mod incompatibility i suggest u to install TWOS mega mod.

Really important before enable any mods or a mega mod pls READ THE DOCUMENTATION of each mod or mega mod.

if u wanna make your own mod list i suggest u to follow sober mod list or my Mod list which one is based on DrJones MagUI
