Getting ready to install the SP 3.1 for SF..

Is it safe to over install or do I need to re-install it? I don't mind re-installing everything despite it took me 6 months

here is what I did to keep from loosing a thing. I installed the patch to a new clean install. I got rid of every file but the .dll's, .exe and the .cats files. Then dropped all those in the correct folders in my current installs of SF. Overwrote all the curent dll's etc. Wham instantly updated to the new patch with affecting any current installed mods. Did the same for WOV. Works perfect. No issues at all. Try it.

I installed over the top without reinstalling and it worked fine, BUT!

 

If you've extracted .ini files from the .cat files, the patch won't touch them, only the .cat files. So you'll need to REextract those .ini files and alter them again. Don't just try and get away with the older .inis as I noticed there are differences. The F-104Gdata.ini, for example, has more lines than it did before.
