Backing up SH3 carrer for play on Additional Computer

RushTheBus · 03-04-15, 02:40 PM

Hey Everyone,

I did a quick search and i couldn't find anything that really answered me question. Given the nature of my job, i have the ability to use a laptop while on my station - as such i want to continue my career on SH3 and preferably use SH3 commander. I made a backup of the "SH3" folder in "my documents," that contains all the career information. Will copying this over on a fresh install of SH3 and fresh install of SH3C allow me to continue my career as is it stands on my laptop and they transfer files back to continue on my desktop?

Thanks for the clarification!

I've done that with success using two installations which were identical. One was a simple copy of the other.

What do you have to loose? As long as you have a backup, give it a try.

Using commander, you may want to always perform a rollback first.

I certainly have nothing to lose! Just wanted to continue my progression in the DEF assignments while at work tomorrow. I also probably have to do a fresh install on my desktop because I've been playing with mods a bit and ran into an issue with MEP v5 which doesn't seem to make sense. I guess the order of enabling things is the biggest headache.
