Carlzilla's Mod Suite - Updated for 1.02 - Updated on 09/15

Yes sir.  At one point I had it checked off in the normal directory (which was otherwise modded) and checked on in the newly copied directory.  Still nothing. 

I tried deleting my ModSuiteSaveData files in the normal directory but that didn't help.  It never seems to read or write to the ModSuiteSaveData directory in the newly copied version of the Firepro Wrestling World folder.  I tried deleting the dat files from the new directory; it never prompted me to create them or act like it was bothered by them being missing.

I tried unmodding the normal directory completely.  What I find maddening is when I do that, the game runs vanilla from BOTH directories.  I can run the patcher from the newly copied version and everything is checked (including the Mod Suite Save Data option) but it literally runs the vanilla game and ignores everything else.  How is that even possible?  I'm clicking FireProWrestlingW.exe in the newly copied directory but it acts like I'm running my shortcut or exe file from the vanilla directory, no matter what I do to either folder.

Here are my steps/assumptions - there are a few points I'm not completely clear on but don't know if they're causing any issue.

a) Directory I'm copying - Fire Prowrestling World (not a Steam root directory or anything)

b) Steam cloud should be off.  Steam should be offline.

c) Vanilla directory - should be patched or unpatched?  If patched, should its "Use Mod Suite Save Data" box be checked or unchecked?  I think I've tried it all ways now but might help to know what it should be.

d) New directory - should be patched with Use Mod Suite Save Data checked

e) launch modded version by clicking FireProWrestlingW.exe in new directory

f) launch vanilla version from install directory or original shortcut

g) Directories should not "sync" - if I make a change to an edit in the mod version, it should not make the same change to that edit in the vanilla directory (it currently does so).
