Moving the mod folder?

[SebastianP 5]

Hi!

 

I just installed the game and downloaded a bunch of mods (from here!), but looking at the way things are set up, I'm worried about running out of space on my C drive - just one of the mods I downloaded today totals 4 GB when installed, and my C drive is a 120 GB SSD...

 

Is there a way to make the game look elsewhere for stuff like mods and savegames, or will I have to use annoying filesystem tricks to make the folder itself point to another drive?

_{You can easly move your mod folder, because I have moved all of mine from "C" drive too..}

_{1. You need to copy your current mod folder to your prefered location.}

_{2. You then either delete the mod folder on "C" drive and then create a new clean mod folder (with the minimum required TW folders), or delete the extra items you have put into the TW "C" drive mod folder.}

_{3. Go into the original TW "C" drive "Options.ini" file and change the three references to the old "C" drive mod to your new "X" drive mod location.}

_{Example: Directory=C:\Users\ev10555\Saved Games\ThirdWire\FirstEagles2 Eastern Front, change to Directory=X:\Users\ev10555\Saved Games\ThirdWire\FirstEagles2 Eastern Front}

Ah, many thanks. Couldn't find anything about this in the knowledge base.. though that might be bad search-fu. :)
