I've been wanting to assemble a little story through Gmod ragdoll posing. However, due to my... Generous amount of addons I cannot play singleplayer because it crashes upon loading the map. I kind of want to avoid going through 300+ addons to find a few addons that I don't use which won't make a difference whether I delete them or not. My question here is, is there anyway to get a second client of Gmod? So that I could keep all my addons on one client and have vanilla, clean slate gmod on another? I doubt it's possible but I just couldn't help but ask, because despite having 300+ addons I tend to use mostly all of them for something during my playing time on Gmod every day.
Yeah, create another steam account then buy gmod again.

I was hoping that wouldn't be the answer but I assumed already that it was the only way.
What FrankPetrov said isn't true. The problem is that Garry's Mod stores all of it's files in /steamapps/common, which isn't account specific (since Steampipe update).
I'm not sure if you can disable workshop or something, but what you could try is renaming your Garry's Mod directory within /steamapps/common to "GarrysMod_old" and then starting up the game. It should create a new folder for you. If you can find out how to disable Workshop (without having to unsubscribe to all your addons), this will keep that installation clean. if you then want to go back to your old Garry's Mod installation, rename "GarrysMod" to "GarrysMod_clean" and rename "GarrysMod_old" to "GarrysMod". Then you'll have all your files again.
What you could do is get someone to write you an userscript that keeps track of all your subscribed addons, saves them to a file, unsubscribes from them all, then once you want them again, subscribe to them all again. Would be do-able...
Or you could sandbox your steam directory using Sandboxie and delete your addons folder in it.

That might be true, however, you can
1. Install Steam to a different directory and have two Steam directories.
2. If you have multiple hard drives, install a copy of GMod to the other drive.

How?

Same as ms33 said, sandbox programs such as Sandboxie.
