Hi D
You cannot run 2 SH5 individual games.
Without going into details they will share certain files and applications.

The Generic Patcher is not a problem as there is not really a conflict here between the 2 mega mods.
Currently in your game they are both sharing the same SH5 saved game folder which you do not want.

The Options File Editor Viewer may also be a problem!

What you will need to do is a complete uninstall of all SH5 including your saved game folder SH5.
Run the registry cleaner before re-installing.

When you re-install for example to C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 you need to update your game to v1.2
Update SH5 From v1.0.5.0 To v1.2.0 Immediately After Installing > Pictorial
Check that your game loads to the games main menu and then exit to the desktop.

Your re-install will already have created your SH5 saved game folder in C:\Documents but you will also need a separate one for sobers mega mod.

You need to make a copy of your game, this is the Silent Hunter 5 main game folder and rename it for example sobers mega mod.
Might look like this C:\sobers mega mod
You do not want C:\Ubisoft\sobers mega mod

Run both games SH5.exe as administrators.

You now need to download Multi SH5.
Multiple Silent Hunter 5 Installs [S5M]_MULTiSH5 By BL!TZKE!EG
You can download this into the sobers mega mod and extract the contents.
When you start the Multi SH5 application you will be asked to create a new saved game folder for example this could be called SMM or SOB.

Install TWoS first following the installation instructions carefully especially the gps snapshot file for the GFP.
Make sure that this is setup with JSGME, GFP and OFEV first before starting your sobers one.

Now you need to start sobers mega mod and make sure that it loads to the games main menu and then exit to the desktop.

You can now install and enable sobers taking care
especially over the gps snapshot file for the GFP.

When using the OFEV with sobers make sure you have the correct paths for his mega mod and not TWoS.

Sobers mega mod can only be used with "silentotto" TWoS can be career based or "silentotto".

Hopefully I have covered everything.
