How to Mod Silent Hunter 4

"Silent Hunter 4" is a real-time strategy game for the PC that gives you direct and total control over a submarine as you battle a variety of opposing forces. The game has a full single-player campaign, and it includes a fully supported multplayer mode for those who enjoy the competitive battles of submarine warfare against actual opponents. However, players looking to expand upon the game's single-player campaign can download several player-created mods for free that change everything from the game's aesthetics to large gameplay-changing alterations.
