First off, I haven't played SH4 in a while and I'm getting the itch. I figured I'd try SH5 hoping that they have fixed most of the launch issues/bugs. Is this the case or should I just stick with SH4? I'm also wondering if there are any mods for SH5 similar to Trigger Maru in scale.

Thanks.

Interested in this one as well. Any SH5 mod site in particular?

There is no Mega mod yet. But, after a HD failure which wiped out my mod collection, I am using the MMM collection of mods and it got me back in the game really quick. MMM

If you choose to assemble your own mod list check out this thread: Mod Guide for Beginners , because the sim is extremely sensitive to the order that you install mods.

As a new SH5 player (and just finished one play-through of SH3), what mods are a must to enhance the game experience? What mods are optional? Thanks!

Which mods are a must?
Basically all of them.

Lol, appreciate the reply, but surely you don't expect me to install ALL available mods. Plus a quick read through the forums and it seems like some mods cause CTDs so much so that "mod install order" has been advised to reduce the CTD occurrence.

I have an un-modded SH5 and find it great.

Yeah, I think I'll proceed with the un-modded one first to see how it goes... unless there is a totally must-have one out there.
