Does anyone know how to go about getting maybe two installs of SH5 on two different hard drives on same System ?
I have seen a post by 'BAKA', but I'm looking for a step-by-step guide as to how this could be done. Especially so that one install in no way affects the other(s).
I want to keep one for playing the game with TWoS etc, and another for trying & testing out mods.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am playing with 3 install of SH5 at the moment, SH5 with TWoS, SH5 with Wolfes from the Deep, and the other SH5 stock with JSGME.
I done it with this "SH5 Install Switch by Targor Avelany"

We just copy and paste the stock Ubisoft/Silent Hunter5 folder to any location in same drive or other drive, and change the folder name a bit like Ubisoft/SH5 TWoS or Ubisoft/SH5 WftD if we copy/paste it to same drive, and then run the SH5 Install switch.exe to choose which SH5 we want to play.
Do not forget to manually change or rename the Documents/SH5 folder every time we change the SH5 version, SH5 always use the Documents/SH5 folder name regardless whatever version we play, so if we want to play SH5 stock version run it with Documents/SH5 folder, but if we play other version like Ubisoft/SH5 TWoS, then we must rename the Documents/SH5 folder to other name like Documents/SH5 Stock, so we get the other Documents/SH5 folder and the right save game file. In my documents folder right now I have Documents/SH5 folder, Documents/SH5 TWos folder and Documents/SH5 WftD folder. Which version we want to play just change the associated documents folder to Documents/SH5.
