    "Must Have" mods? + A few questions about TMO

    Hi all,

    I've had SH4 a long time, but finally decided it was time to go ahead and mod it. At the momen I've got TMO 2.5. My question is, what are the other "Must Have" Mods, if any?

    Also, I have a few questions about TMO: I left the optional mods in the TMO folder, are they installed? In JSGME it only lists TMO, but as I said, I left the optional mods in the main TMO folder. And, besides the environment mods and the like, how much of TMO applies to the U-Boat missions part of the Game?

    Thanks

    P.S @Wolferz: Glad you're back! I know I don't post here a whole lot but I check it almost everyday, I suppose I'm a "lurker".

    Not sure if TMO2.5 has been fixed, so a must mod for it is the small patch...install right after TMO2.5 or open both up and file swap.

    The optional mods have to be removed and added via JSGME individually.

    As for the U-Boats....I don't think it does anything for them other than the environments.

    Thank you kindly b34856

    Right you are milady. TMO doesn't do squat for the U-boats other than improve the environment.

    As for other must have mods, it all depends on your tastes. Personally, I use another mod called MaxOptics which increases the size of the HUD gauges and adds a zoom factor to the periscopes and binoculars.
    I don't have a clue where it can be downloaded from. Perhaps the author could shed some light on this. I was looking for it today, unsuccessfully.

    It's at SubSim.

    Here is a link to the mods page at Subsim. Just be careful and make sure the mods work with your setup, many use numerous mods.

    Many run RSRD mod with TMO. It is simply a campaign mod that reworks traffic historically.

    View to course and course to view are (-) and (=). I am playing TMO and (H) brings me to the sonar station. Click on F1 when in game and you can see what hot keys do what.
