follow the instructions and you should be fine.

Here's my question: Is it possible to have two installations from steam?

I'm not sure, and i'm edging towards no, I can't think of a way to do it.

I run the steam version I have multiple separate mod folders for each mode. Start with a clean install. I happen to have mine in E: Program files(X86)>Steam>Steamapps>Common>Then individual folders for each Mod......It's highly suggested not to use C:Program files(x86) for your Steam installation point.


Once you have a clean install just copy and paste everything IN the folder Silent Hunter wolves of the pacific at the Steam.Steamapps.common location, and paste them in a different name folder I use OM darkwaters, Berbsters,Fotrs, JapSh4, TMOSH4, Wediveatdawn, ect.
Once the clean copy is installed in a new mod folder, add Large address aware and activate(make sure it's pointing at the SH4 in your new folder), add JSGME don't activate yet, add MultiSH4 1.5 and change the standard three letter save point to something like OMD if you're using OM drakwaters,TMO if your using TMOmod ect. Then install the mod you're putting in the new folder. Lastly make and rename a shortcut from the SH4 in the folder and paste on your desktop. Hope this helps

and of course activate the mod by JSGME in the new folder when you're done all that.. I keep the original fresh copy untouched except for JSGME, Large address aware and multish4 1.5 in with the fresh copy, so i can just copy everything into a new mod folder later on, rather than search for the files.

A trick, that I added to My own repertoire Myself... on adding into the virgin, 'GOLD Standard' copy of doing multi copies with Steam version.... for just that reason.

What's the saying as my short term memory declines, sharp minds think alike Or something like that!

Believe, it was 'great minds, think alike.', as I recall... though, most days... am doing good, just in remembering My own name...
