Install both Standard and Extended
How can I install both Standard and Extended as separate games so that I don't have to reinstall each time I change from one to the other?

Thank you.

So what can you do? My advice would be: install the Extended branch from Steam, since Steam will take care of daily updates for you. Then download Simutrans Standard latest stable version (122) from simutrans.com and put the executable in the Simutrans Steam folder (rename it to simutrans-standard so it doesn't conflict). Then you can add it to Steam as a non-Steam program and it should work. You will not have cloud save, tho.
