Installing two copies of Oblivion?

Since getting various mods to work is such a horrible process for me frought with numerous re-installs, conflicts, mixing whatchamacallits, reading bad readme's, and getting served by Wrye Bash whenever I touch it I've decided that perhaps the best solution to my problem is to have two or possibly even three installs of Oblivion on my computer. I don't mind them all sharing the same saves and whatnot, that's fine. I don't care about that. I just want separate game folders with their own mod configurations to serve as a back-up that won't require a fresh install and a playground to test out new mods to see how to make them work and if they're any good or compatible before I try to further upset the very delicate balance of mods that I have working right now.

 

My buddy says this is impossible. While he does know a bit more about working with Oblivion then I do, I don't think he's quite a know-it-all either. [After all I was following his instructions when Wrye Bash corrupted my Shivering Isles .esp and turned all my rain bright purple.]

have you tried to just copy the Oblivion over to another directory? this method works for other games.

of course different games are different but I say its worth a try.

 

if that doesnt work why not copy and paste the Oblivion folder as a backup? It might not be installed but you can just change the two folders with different mods if you feel like it.
