A lot depends on how much free disc space you have. You can go into windows explorer, create new folders with different names, then copy the original \Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific and paste in each of the new folders. Takes about 9-10 gigs for each copy. This mod;

Is good to have if you want to keep all the save games separate for each copy of SH4.

So with four folders;

Original
Trigger Maru Overhauled
Operation Monsun
Fall of the Rising Sun

You'll have four different games using about 40 gigs disc space total.

To make it easier I created a master SH4 folder on my desktop, then browse to the original SH4 folder, copy SH4.exe, switch back to the desktop folder, paste shortcut. Change the name of the shortcut to something like "ORG", then do the same for each copy of SH4, renaming the shortcuts to match which mod it has. I also went to C:\skwas\Silent 3ditor\S3D.exe and copied that to have a shortcut to Silent 3ditor.

IF YOU'RE A MODDER:

Be advised both Silent 3ditor and SH4MissionEditor.exe default to the last folder you edited something in, so you have to doublecheck which folder you're working in each time. Found that out the hard way, I edited one of the ATO missions using SH4MissionEditor.exe in the GERMAN folder, then a week later I edited a US mission from the PACIFIC folder, and couldn't understand why my changes were ignored until I did a search for the filename and looked at the dates. Even though I was using SH4MissionEditor.exe in the PACIFIC folder, it was editing the one in the GERMAN folder because I didn't know at the time that all copies of the editor use a common program to keep track of which file in what folder was edited last.
