My goal is to run NYGM mods without interferring my IuB settup.

Yes it is, I currently run 4 versions.

My setup is as follows, I installed and patched to 1.4b so that I had a clean base, renamed it. I then copied it as mentioned, 4 times.

I have...
SilentHunterIII NYGM
SilentHunterIII NYGM DEV
SilentHunterIII NYGM HT
SilentHunterIII NYGM SD II

Now you can run each version as is, but I prefer to do a quick rename back to SilentHunterIII. This is being pedantic, but it is just so I can be 100% on which version I am working with.

The clean base means it takes about 5 minutes, by the time it copies the 2Gb of data to have a SHIII install ready to put a mod over.

I hope this helps.
