A Question Regarding Mods Folders

I do know that you can have more than one saves folder in your game, so long as you add dot and a label for the second one. IE saves.Cantrell. The dot keeps the game from reading it. But I had a thought occur to me about the Mods folder. I am wondering if we can have two Mods folders, so long as one of them is marked Mods dot whatever? I have some mods, cc, that I don't want nor will use in a second saves game. For instance, I have a hankering to start my Ancestral save again. I would need the 18th century clothing and objects, that I really wouldn't need for my Cantrell save. Has anybody ever tried it? Am I mad to see what happens? What are the risks?

Please, and thank you, in advance.

  • I am going to back up my Cantrell save and then do an experiment to see if my idea will work. Wish me luck, or if you think this is a disaster in the making, please place your remarks in this thread. I do hope you answer before I get to experimenting. :open_mouth: I could, I guess make a second game folder for it. That might work well, too.
  • The game is set up so that you can have multiple saves. It is not set up to have multiple mod folders.

    What you can do is have multiple mod folders saved on your computer, then swap out the one you plan to play with for the one that you don't need at that time. I've done that on my computer because I try to keep the amount of CC down, especially of b/b. But I have this one save where the legacy family has a ton of b/b CC (walls and furniture.) So I keep that mod folder for when I play that family.

    Thank you for that. I shall happily proceed.
