If you have enough hard drive space,   just make backups in the root - Grand Theft Auto IV - folder in steam.   The GTAIV folder is 15gb for each one you make.

 

For example I have the current working folder at the top of the directory.

 

GTAIV - current game/scripts loaded = barebones settings as i am playing and testing some textures

 

GTAIV - Snow Default = default settings for GTA, LCPDFR, Snow Mod with no modded cars/handling

 

GTAIV-charg = charger project i was working on

 

GTAIVmain = my favourite one i play most often with car/skin packs of my local police

 

GTAIV-Snow = has modified settings for GTA, LCPDFR and snow mod with changed vehicles and handling.

 

 

Really handy for me as all i need to do is rename a few folders and i get different game settings and new modded vehicles to play with.  Makes it way easier and faster for me to setup gameplay videos if i need to change the scenario or related props/textures.

Picked my copy up years back at Target, should be available at any similar store by now.

So say if I was in a clan, had a whole texture pack and everything I could set up a whole new GTA folder for online gameplay, then revert back to another one for my own mods, like what you have set up? Jeesh I wish I would of known of that months ago, would of saved me so much time changing out textures, lol.

Just an FYI to anyone looking to purchase an online/digital copy.
