help with newb mod combo

[mikeCK]

I installed SS 6.1 the other day and when given the option of also installing "real recruitment" and "BYG Grim reality" I accepted both.

I then installed the new RR/RC mod by pointblank here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=300716

My question is...did I screw up? Is the RC/RR mod the same as the one included in S6.1 (just says "real recruitment)? Seems to me that the RC/RR mod is a combo and would include the RR mod in 6.1?

Basically, I want to play 6.1 with RR/RC and BYGs grim mod. Do I have to unisntall and start over or am I ok as is?...and what is teh best way to end up with all 3....directions are a little confusing.

mikeCK,
By installing RR/RC Sub Mod by Point Blank you have upgraded from 6.1 to 6.2. If you want to play 6.1 with RR/RC and BGR 3 I would suggest that you uninstall SS completely, defrag, registry clean and file clean up. Then install 6.0 Pt 1 and 2 and 6.1 with respective boxes ticked. Before you start your first campaign, go to BGR thread in sub mod and install data zip at bottom of first post, absolutely VITAL. Also check out Rozanov's thread under bugs in stickies, you will need to amend some scripting because of Pirates bug. PM me if you wish and want help.

Here you go on Rozanov thread:

Well, if you wanted 6.1 then I suppose you did 'screw up', seeing as that RC/RR compilation includes SS6.2.
This compilation is the newest, and if you're looking for a challenge, it's what you want.
Once installed, simply copy the contents of the data_BYGIV into your data folder, to install that aswell.

Hey guys..thank you. Assuming that I am OK with running 6.2...the fact that I installed RR/RC over top of 6.1 will not ruin the "BYG grim reality" mod that came with SS6.1 will it?

[Navajo Joe]

It will break BGR3 I am afraid as 6.2 RR/RC will overwrite it, as Per XX stated its BGR4 that is utilised with 6.2 . Other folk have had trouble with 6.2 RR/RC Sub Mod, when tick boxes have been checked.
I think you better of doing as I stated in my first post and that your installation of 6.2 RR/RC Sub Mod may give problems

Thanks Navajo Joe...I think I'll just uninstall and try just SS6.1 (nothing checked) and then add RR/RC seperately. I'll skip BGR4 at this point...sounds a little complicated.
