Here is what I did with the steam version.

I went to the steam apps folder and made a copy of the shIII game folder. I renamed that folder shIII GWX. I had two exact games folders now. I added the mod to the shIII GWX folder.

This left me with a vanilla install of SHIII and another install of SHIII with GWX. I then went to my steam library, and added a non steam game link and added the location of the SHIII GWX install as the new game. I renamed it in steam so when it pops up it says Silent Hunter III with GWX 3.0.

So after testing both installs, all works well.

MY QUESTION IS, how does this effect career files? Theres just the SHIII folder in my documents. I assume I might have to back that up.
