Both versions

bosunmate · 09-30-2020, 09:32 AM

I just bought a Steam version of OOTP because i wanted a copy on my steam file. Now can i have both versions on my computer and would it be possible to send photos from my regular game to my steam version. I'm a boomer so this stuff is confusing to much weed in the 60's...Thank you in advance for your input...Bosunmate

Both versions use the same file set in your Documents folder ... so you should have no problem with it.

Just loaded the steam version and it took me to my regular copy of the game that i play on my ootp store bought version. I wanted to have both running but i see there is no way they all go into the one game...Oh well atleast it isn't money wasted i'm all for helping Markus and gang have been a fanboy since 2003 and now i'm 70 so i guess it's a fangrandpa...

Check out the Steam Workshop. Garlon and Sylvim(Spelling) have some flat out incredible mods posted on there. The historical stadium mod is wonderful, as is the historical uniform mod. Another user created a 40 team fictional independent league quickstart that is loaded with great things. I don't play fictional, but the cool thing is this quickstart has 40 stadiums that are a great addition to the game.

you can direct either of them to a different saved path if you really wanted them to be different - create a new folder in your C:\Documents (or wherever you save your game - mine is D:\Documents) Folder - naming it "Steam Saves" or something. you'll need to change the save data path in the game you are pointing there for it to work.

First thing that came to mind reading this was, "Dave's not here"
