There is absolutely no reason to ever have to reinstall SH3. If you follow this simple rule.

Install SH3, patch to 1.4

Now, here is the trick: Make a complete copy of the entire data folder and save it in a outside folder called 1.4stock.

Now install Grewwolves. Once installed and stable, copy the entire data folder and put it into an outside folder called Greywolves.

Now that GW is copied, delete the entire GW data folder in the SH3 folder and copy the original stock folder cack into the game.

Now add NYGM T2.0. Once it is stable copy the entire data folder and save it outside the game and call it NYGM.

You now have three installs of SH3 in one. If you mod any one while it is in the game and it screws up, delete it and copy the entire data folder back into the game folder.

And, if you decide you want two different type games (or 10 for that matter) just mod up the install, copy that to an outside the game folder and call it yo mama, we don't care but reinstall, that just does not need to be done.

They do share the same my documents folder for your cfg and crew and careers so make sure you know which career is which.

Never ever ever reinstall again
