Top Mods To Play

[Sir_Cuckington]

I was hoping if someone could tell me what mods are good for this game.

There are several mega mods out there, something like this ( http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=cat&id=85 ) maybe...but you would need always this ( http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4725 ) for installing any mod on SH5..
Also there are several sites and forums out there where you can get ideas from, subsim is just one..

thanks for the response i been looking at some mods. But which ones would you recommend to me for a Noob.

Well...the mega mods you can find out there are most balanced and are usually offering you all the things you could download as single mods but within one file, usually changing also the UI as also multiple other aspects of the game...
You could try to watch some vid on y-tube before you decide wich one to install; https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sh5+wolves+of+steel

Also, depending on how good your knowledge of the german language is, this one I'm using right now:

[Mind]

No mods are good for this game, the game is just too buggy. I recommend instead you go for Silent Hunter 3 with the grey wolves pack instead. That one I do recommend.

I wonder what it was like for kriegsmarine members to have germany compeltely change politically as they're always out at sea.

I just added the mod "The Wolves Of Steel". I have a question for anyone who plays this mod. Do you a tonnage bar in the game. When im playing it i see no tonnage bar. I do not wanna waste anytime into the game if you cant complete to the next campaign. So can someone explain the Tonnage bar for Wolves Of Steel?

Sorry to hijack your question (cannot answer it) - how did you install Wolves of Steel? Because in http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=210703:

"Step 6:
Properly activate TDW generic patcher and restore "TWoS 1.05_Snapshot.gps". The patcher, snapshot and install instructions are already placed in the main game folder (Silent Hunter 5/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0).
(Steam version doesn't support generic patcher and therefore this megamod too)"

Generally, an EULA allows a backup copy. If one restores a non-Steam version of the exe, then one could use the patcher and megamod.

Well OK. I also found this, have not yet tried... Seems a hard process judging from the thread,,, http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=214687

No I think it is too much for me. I am confused by 1000s of threads. ixsupack, patcher, installshield cabinet viewer... I don't understand: Do all megamods require this kind of science? I thought OpenHorizons can simply be copied over (data folder)?

Be very careful of mods on subsim. I downloaded one 2 weeks ago, and my pc was infected by malicious malware, and a nasty virus!
