ALCON -

USAF CCATT Nurse (Prior Army Airborne) here....reporting for duty!! First off i just finished this game and absolutely love it, as i did part 1 and part 2.

That being said, can i get step by step directions to download mods and where to place them, access them etc so i can continue to enjoy fresh scenarios?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance...i used to be able to this but just back from a deployment and forgot how!!

Hi, fairly simple- you need decompressor first- I use J-zip for free- then go to mod page in this forum and download then extract with decompressor - then the mods will be in your documents- copy and paste each mod into mods folder inside the SOW game- thne once the game starts go to mods directory and activate each one- it's simple and works real real good- good luck and salute :cheer:

Adding the MODS is pretty simple. rclark pretty much summed it up. If I can ask a question? What made you decide to leave the Army and 82nd to go AF? Just asking...

Nice!! It was just time to go, I completed a Green to Gold Scholarship for Nursing, served 5 years as a Critical Care Nurse. My wife and I both were just fed up with the Army Nurse Corps lack of leadership and I was presented with the position I currently have. Best move I ever made, but I never forget my 82nd days!!

Take care and I will let you know if I have any questions!!

OK,
not working. Let's start with this: I am trying to download the bonus scenarios pack from the home page. I download it and go to my SOW folder. I placed it in the WORK folder and then in the SCENARIOS folder, but when i go to the game and click on single player and then click on user scenarios, they are not there. What am I doing wrong?

Have patience, i can be taught!!

Download the installer, SOWGB_BonusScenarios.exe, double-click on it, and it will start the installation program. Make sure it points to your mods folder. Once they're installed go into the Modifications section of the game and you should see it. Click on it to enable (yellow box), exit the Modifications section, go to the User Scenarios section, pick the one you want to play and enjoy.

Patience we got. :P Ask away.

After clicking the yellow box on, did you click 'Use Selected Mods' at the bottom?
