  1. Ok, the problem is sorted now. It had something to do with the DLC bundle. That and checking every converted .daimod one by one.

    Well I am having an issue with it not loading any mods and for starters I am not loading any ".daimod" only .fbmod

    And mentioning "DLC bundle" doesn't help at all.

  2. What the hell is this?
    I now have a copy of each of my Fallout 4 mods in THREE SEPARATE LOCATIONS.

     

    WHY.

    I tracked down the mods in the virtual install folder and that same mod was installed in Fallout 4, So I removed the mod from the virtual install folder 500MB in size and then removed the same mod from the actual game folder again 500MB in size and got a reported 1GB total space freed on my SSD.

     

    If you haven't noticed but SSDs are expensive and don't come with 4 terabytes like HDDs, a 1 terabyte SSD in my country costs $850+.
    I plan on having 20GB+ of mods install and don't want that totally 40GB+ on my SSD as my Skryim mods total @ 25GB going by where NMM stored the copy of each mod (which brings up the question why don't you make that folder the virtual folder with an option to enable and disable it that way you don't have the mods in 3 separate locations).

     

    So what is the entire point of a Virtual install folder?

    From my understanding it's a way of having mod files on a seperate HDD while maintaining the games core files on a faster but smaller storage device which is completely bloody pointless when most of the slow loading times comes from mods and if it comes to the point where you would want something like this because you would like that 20GB of space used by mods on your SSD on an HDD instead well that's going to be 20GB of mods slowly loading from an HDD, this kind of software would only be useful if you had 2 small HDDs or 2 small SSDs but then again Raid 0 profiles eliminate that need.

    I am aware of programs that do a similar thing like "steam mover" which moves the game from say an HDD to an SSD and then leaves shortcut files for each file from the HDD it originated from so steam still thinks it's on the original HDD but loads the game from the SSD and this is considered a substitute from re-downloading the game, however it still uses space on both storage devices and also doubles the size of the game on the HDD it originates from.

    How to do I disable this useless feature?
