Two Careers at Once?

Soundman · 02-23-09, 07:26 PM

I tried searching for this with no success so, at the risk of asking a possibly dumb question... Can you have two careers going at once or does a new career delete the current career? I've always been a TMO guy and was considering giving RFB a whirl. Problem is, I'm in the middle of (my umpteenth) TMO career and don't want to lose it, so I'm wondering if I can disable TMO mods, pop in RFB and give it a try with a new career. I've never given this any thought before, so before wiping out anything and/or dealing with a dual install, thought I'd ask a dumb question.

I dont know if it helps but I have two carriers one german and the other american.

Im assuming you can do two for the same side, just make unique save game names for them.

I believe your Captain's name has to be different or it will overwrite the current career. If it's the same side. Been awhile since I had 2 going....CH

That's pretty much what I assumed, but you know what they say about assuming.

...Thanks Guys.

You can certainly do it in SH3, so I don't see why SH4 would be any different.

HOWEVER, you might want to have two separate installs. That way you can run two different supermods at the same time. I don't know if TMO and RFB will let you swap out like that in the same game. You might want to wait for people who have done it to reply before you take that chance.

Yeah, two separate installs would be the way to go. Also, be sure to get MultiSH4 as this will keep your saves separate.
