I have a previous version of Celestia with tons of addons, custom textures, etc. How can I update to the latest version without having to reinstall all of those addons, textures, etc?

You can have more than one copy of Celestia on your system at the same time. Rename the directory (folder) where you have Celestia now, maybe to Celestia131. Verify that things still work: Double-click on the icon for Celestia131\Celestia.exe and look around in your universe. Install the new copy of Celestia and tell it to use the directory Celestia. It’ll create the folder again and install itself there. Move your Addons at leisure. Also, please take a look at http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/addon-intro.html for a description of how to organize your Addons so they can be moved easily.
