I have been using multiple runtimes... a whole lot of them, and it's been working great.

Millennium People Runtimes, which contain the following:

V3 Character Addons Runtime (includes the base/head/body morphs)
V3 Clothing Runtime
SP3 Character Addons Runtime
SP3 Clothing Runtime
M3 Character Addons Runtime
M3 Clothing Runtime
D3 Character Addons Runtime
D3 Clothing Runtime

---

Faeries and Angel Runtime (all things faery/angel related)
Furrette Runtime
Lighting Runtime
Hair and Nails Runtime
Props and Poses Runtime
Millennium Baby Runtime (all things baby)

---

I further sort by sub folder. For example...inside the character folder and poses folder of the V3 Clothing Runtime I have the following folders:

Miscellaneous Clothing
Morphing Clothing
Shoes

---

I further sort those sub folders by more sub folders. For example, in the Poses folder, "Morphing Clothing" folder I have:

MFD
MCD
MSD
MFG

Inside each of these folders I have the various textures for each dress. Each folder inside contains the name of the person who created it, plus the name of the texture.

This way when I want to use the MFD, I go to characters, locate the MFD and find all my files there. I then go to Poses folder and locate "Morphing Clothing/MFD" and have all of the textures that I have for that dress in one location. I recenly picked up some poses for the dress, so I put them in there as well.

At first it was a bit confusing have to go from runtime to runtime to do various things, but I've gotten used to it and it really doesn't take that long to switch runtimes. I also install one file at a time. After installing the file, I go to the runtime, look through all of the folders in the "Library" folder and name them " - ". This way I can always locate the files for each outfit because they are named the same throughout the Library folders. If you have multiple outfits from a merchant, you can further organize by moving the folders into yet another one named for the person who created it.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
