This may be a dumb question, but..

Can I download numerous mods, and play a different one whenever I want.

For example, can I download DaBabes or RA, but still play Vanilla if I wish?

Thanks.

You have to create a new game folder (loading the game into it) and calling it something different, such as WITP AE DeBabes and put a separate short cut on your desktop, but in short yes.... Hal

I have 'copy & paste' the stock AE folder twice. I now have one that is for games with DBB and a third for RA. In my 'ideal' world, there would be one Ship file and one Air file and every bodies different art work would be there so I wouldn't have to change from one to another. Since my world doesn't exist, I think my approach works well.

My approach is very similar to Michael's. I have a base, "stock" install of AE. Then a separate modded install for Babes and RA 4.6. I have found that a separate install prevents me from making mistakes, or over writing the wrong file or mod.
