Can I have the steam version and the xbox game pass version downloaded at the same time?
As the title says, I want to know if I can install both versions of the game so I can separately mod both versions. Will this cause conflict or lead to any issues?

i believe so. Maybe with mod managers it will confuse the 2 games

For the second install I will probably use manual installs, but thank you

You can use Mod Organizer 2 to manage both installs. Just set them up as Portable Installs and link them to the right game folder. MO2 is the only mod manager that will be able to manage the games separately.
I manage 12 games with MO2 that way.

Can you link me a tutorial?
I have Vortex running perfectly right now with 150-200 mods.

But I run 2 very different characters with different mod packs.
And every time I switch I have to painstackingly disable/enable the character specific mods.

It may be very painful but eventually I may have to bite that bullet of going to MO2 for that reason, as I suspect I will play this game for years to come with different mods/overhauls.

Vortex supports profiles for such a case, keeping separate mod lists, game settings and save files.
