Changing mod folder location

[ArneHD]

Hi, thanks for adding official mod support! Quick question is it possible to change the location of the mods folder? My C: drive is an ancient SSD that I only really want to use for Windows and a handful of other programs.

Thanks in advance.

I won't swear that this will work, but it works in most cases like this - You might be able to set up a symbolic link, specifically a junction, that redirects the folder elsewhere.

Can't they just give us an option in the settings or mods menu so we can tell the game where we want them kept. I wouldn't have thought it too difficult to do.
I like to keep as much free space on my OS dedicated drive as possible, Game Files, inc mods go on my Games drive, that's what it is for.

Well, I can confirm setting up a junction seems to work, having done so myself.

Please do give us an option to change the directory. The path chosen for OSX goes against convention for application support files.

I just tried this and it seems to work fine, thanks for the tip!

Off the top of my head, did you run cmd in administrator mode? Otherwise I'm out of ideas.
