Back to SH4
Calling on the valued knowledge of the hive mind.
It’s been a very long time since I have used my PC or played SH4 so I am planning on dusting off the pc and delving back in to the depths of SH4. Since it has been so long I am planning a complete deletion and reinstall of the game but wonder what are the best mods to install to both improve game play and the overhaul experience both in terms of graphics and realism. This has all probably been asked many times before but thanks in advance for any advice.

4. TMO Realism and graphics quick death for swabbies https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=250635
3. TMOwTW Realism graphics and better chance of survival https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=4801 1. Darkwaters German perspective Realism and great graphics https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...ght=darkwaters 2. FOTRS Realism and graphics https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=243064 5. Japanese Mod Vanilla graphics, Japanese subs perspective https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=137761 6. We dive at Dawn British sub perspective vanilla https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=170639 These are simply my own personal ratings and I play baby levels still after sh4 came out. A couple others I've tried such as Italian boat mod which are in the same grouping vanilla graphics. Always use separate install folders for each mod, LAA, Multish4 1.5, JSGME I always start with a fresh install of sh4 V1.5( I NEVER TOUCH AGAIN AFTER INSTALLING). Don't save in C:\programs file! then simply copy the whole game into a new folder for each mod. You must use multish4 otherwise your saves from different mods are going to go into the same saves folder and screw everything up. Have any questions on anything feel free someone here will get you squared away. Good hunting! Last edited by 1Patriotofmany; 09-24-23 at 05:37 PM. |

 In the meantime, besides what 1Patriotofmany says, you will want to avoid installing the game in the default "C:\Program Files (x86)" folder, and make your own folder to install it into, such as "C:\Games" or "C:\david_simons40 SH4" or whatever. If you install in the Windows protected folders, such as Program Files, you will be restricted in what you and JSGME can do to your computer. You might want to also look into the use of NTCore's 4Gig Patch or maybe even MultiSH4

I also recommend TMO, it is still excellent and much better than unmodded or Game Fix Only SH4.
