pro mods with new profile or existing profile

[Rhum]

if i add promods to my current game 2.60 , 1.43 updates , can i start a new profile using promods and all the new cities and garages , but then i still want to play my existing profile with just the ordinary maps , can i install promods to play a new profile , and then take it out to carry on with my existing profile , so i would be basically using 2 profiles, one with promods and one without, basically just installing it when i play the new profile and take it out to carry on with my normal profile. Surely the only way a mod can affect a profile is if you install it , play it and save it , so by taking it out to play my existing profile it shouldnt have any affect on that , should it ?

You can have 2 profiles, one with Promods enabled and another profile without mods and it will be fine. You don't need to remove mods.

That's what I do, one with Promods, one without mods.

I have two profiles, one with default SCS maps and one with promods map.s.

One big advantage with separate profiles is that you can continue playing during "update season". When SCS updates the base game it takes a while for Promods to update, test and release their maps to the new base game version. With two profiles you can updatee the game immediately and enjoy new features with the non-PM profile, until PM releases their new stuff.

I have...
A standard profile which only has couple of mods for my quality of life. They are my own mods and I keep the up to date if needed. I use this profile for WoT jobs/events and for Steam Achievements.
A profile for ProMods, same mods as above plus ProMods and any associated file/mods.

I also have a totally vanilla profile, this is run from a shortcut on my desktop and uses a separate homedir to keep it "clean". This is just for testing and just incase.

I also create a separate profile with it's own homedir for any beta testing that I want to get involved in.

So basically you can have a many profiles as you like with different mods in any of them.
