Yes, it can. I'm going to have you manually do it to avoid saving over files that are outside the additional /stats folder required. This manual approach works even if you are on Steam.
Download the zip file:
https://www.mediafire.com/file_premi...Z-001.zip/file
There will be a file called "statsNeLmod" once you unzip it. Unzip it while it is still in your downloads folder. This all you are going to worry about. Everything about it is self-contained and won't affect anything else.
Go to OOTP's Main Start Screen and select Settings. Then, when the pop-up appears, go to the troubleshooting tab. Select the button that takes you to the folders with customizable data. In there is the default folder called "stats". Drag the folder called "/statsNeLmod" from your Downloads and put it next to - not in - but next to the /stats folder. The game will continue default to /stats. We didn't drag any of the parks, the ballparks_era txt file, the uniforms, etc. We left all that stuff in the downloads folder.
It may remember this the next time you go for an individual import. But that's all. The game you are putting these individuals in is still using /stats as normal. You just navigated to a different place to grab these guys.
Now, recall when importing individual players, you select the histroical.database.odb file you want to pull the players from. When at that import screen, navigate up (because you are in /stats as a default) and select /statsNeLmod instead and select the histroical.database.odb therein.
If it's not obvious who the 212 people are, back in that downloads folder is a documents folder with a .pdf guide to the mod and the names are in there. Keep in mind, the game may bring in "robinja02" on his own so keep an eye out for a version of a player that played in the AL/NL and those you want to import. The mod has "robinja99" where he comes in two years earlier with KCM stat lines. Some like this Jackie example are players with real careers. A second Willard Brown though, you'd probably never notice as his AL self was all of 21 games.
