I already have steam and my steam games are spread over three different drives and three different Steam Games folders. So I won't install it in C: drive altogether. But the UAC, isn't that going interfere even on a seperate physical drive/SSD too?

About the eye candy part, I really don't know what any of these mods do. So what I wanted to ask was: Is there any mod included in The Berbsters pack that does improve textures or anything related to graphics?
The UAC only affects what Windows considers as "System", so the Program Files folders and the Windows and all all sub-folders, but also your Documents folders to an extent. Neither Silent Hunter nor JSGME, having been written to the Windows XP standard, are "authorized" by Windows Vista and later to alter the "protected" files, which any changes to certain files (ie: "cfg") are then rolled back by the Windows system to their previous state. If you use Windows to "move" the "Program Files" folder, as you can the Documents folder, on some Windows installs, the answer is then yes, the UAC protection follows them. However, if you create the "root" folder, then Windows leaves them alone.

THEBERBSTER's mod is a re-mix of Webster's Game Fixes Only (GFO), but THEBERBSTER does include "Real Environment" as part of his mix, along with the "GFO patch" for it. All you have to do is follow his install instructions, noting that the mods are numbered in the order of install, but that you can skip parts (usually) if so desired. The game was written for a 1024x768 system during the XP days, but as "antiquated" and "legacy" as Windows might consider it, it actually still does rather well for its age. Just don't expect miracles of course...
