I agree, it becomes a part ....

Lol, I know what you mean. I haven't even messed around with LSH or NYGM yet, but when/if I do I'd probably have three additional installs for each: one as a "base" that did not get modded any further, one to test other mods with, and one to actually play.

Pros

Allows you to try out different mods without any risk to current career and saves, and without messing with the files in your primary "playable" install
Retains clean unmodded copies of all original game/supermod files as source material for reference purposes, or for creation of a new or replacement install if necessary
Beats the heck out of uninstalling and reinstalling everything because the one playable installation you had decided to go haywire

Cons

Takes up more space on hard drive
Can get confusing if you don't place and name all relevant folders in a way that makes it easy to distinguish between different installs
Makes you look like a complete and total SH3 geek

BTW did I mention that I also have separate SH3 Commander installs for all of my "playable" game installs?
