I'd do LA in a separate install, and use MultiSH4 to create a separate "Save" folder, such that a stock game uses SH4, while with the LA mod, you could tell MultiSH4 to make (as an example) an "LAM" folder, or some such, so that you keep your mod Saved games out of each others' ways... The stock game uses "My Documents \ SH4".
For "regular" mods, I'm sure Rockin Robbins would be like me, and be very jealous of
Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate mod, which is based on TMO 1.7 but has all sorts of differences, most of them good... Again though, I'd use a separate install and use MultiSH4 to create a separate Save folder, such as "FRS" or some such...
A lot of folks like TMO 2.5, with or without RSRDC, and again, I'd use a separate install and MultiSH4 for the Save folder...
When doing all of that,
Rockin Robbins Silent Hunter 4 Corruption Management System (SH4CMS) makes mod life much easier to deal with... RR I'm sure, will have some excellent points of his own.
It is a bit odd that so many of us missed your post... definitely sorry about that... You must have been wearing camouflagie or something...
