Modding and Challenges be like water and oil

When recording video isn't enough and .craft file is demanded in challenge....

Here's a problem: I like mods that alter .craft file that has stock-only vessel but I also want to upload the .craft file for an non-mod Challenge?

How do I solve this problem? Tell me.

Do mod-altered .craft files that has stock-only vessel work 100% fine on an un-modded KSP? If not, look below.

Should I have two copies of KSP? If so, how? (NOTE: I use Steam version)

Should I gave enough screenshots of a stock-only vessel in modded KSP so people can rebuild it?

Should I gave up one of them?

Thank you.

KSP doesn't use any DRM. This means you can freely make a copy of your KSP install, put that anywhere on your PC, and run it. Many players do this so they can maintain different installations with different sets of mods, as well as avoid problems when Steam updates KSP.

Oh good.

Well that explains everything. Thanks!

Note that each challenge is different. Some of them ask you to do EVERYTHING (including build the ships) in stock. Others just state that the ship needs stock parts. This means to me that in the first case, KER or MechJeb in the VAB at ALL is bad. I'd even not build a ship using those tools and then copy the ship in the unmodded game, as that breaks the spirit of the challenge if not the actual wording. In the second case, using tools to help build your ships is fine as the challenge only asked that it work in stock, not be built without the benefit of the useful tools these mods provide.

And of course in any case if you're not sure, ask. Most challengers know if a mod would break the spirit of their challenge, and your asking them to clarify will at worst let you know if you want to try the challenge, and at best it will prod them to make their OP more clear.
