This allows you to have many different setups of mods with different load orders and such things without the need to have multiple installations. You could also have profiles on, for example, Nexus Mod Manager (Vortex is their new version) where one profile is unmodded and one is modded. The 'having it on console is not a reason to pirate a game' was however unwarranted as OP stated that he/she had purchased it for both console and on Steam.

He wasn't really mocking OP, he was simply warning him/her that any topics related to piracy can lead to a ban.

If you'd actually read my post, you would have noticed that I said I'm not comfortable with pirating games. That's just a lame excuse for pirating something.

So, is it possible to install 2 copies of a game through Steam, or will I have to reinstall all my mods and hope for the best? Second, and more importantly, I'm not comfortable with illegally downloading games, even though I already paid for it (twice I have it on PS3 too that's my unmodded version XD). First, this would obviously also prevent me from getting workshop support. And I don't want to delete them all, copy the game and then reinstall, because there are so many and it was a real struggle getting them working in the first place.

Also, I've managed to get the version I currently have installed working with a lot of mods, and it would be a real pain to have to work out how to delete them in the new copy. Option 1: Copy and paste the game folder to another location, then add it as a non-steam app this won't work for me as, like I said, I want workshop support. I had a look through other discussions on the subject, and there seem to be 2 potential solutions, but neither of them will work for me I want to have 2 copies with different mods installed, and that would be a lot easier with workshop support. As I said in the title, I want to install 2 copies of the same game (specifically, Skyrim).
