I have further complicated my setup by creating an additional Steam Library on an external SSD with Drive letter set to X:/ X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starfield and so am using that and \OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Starfield most of these early mods are working with the \Documents path

Thanks for the clarification and yes still very early days and Bethesda have even said "offical" modding wil not start until 2024 , worst case scenario with Steam Cloud saves is a complete reinstall, for now is mods like StarUI Inventory are just such QoL, hard not too ...

after 300 mods plus in Skyrim I do , seems Vortex is not working for me and manual loose install to //Documents working 50/50 , as you said early days and "errmm " thanks, I think ....

I recently noticed the same with Baldur's Gate 3 and now Starfield too The mod authors normally advise install into the Data folder of //Documents/My Games/Starfield along with the 2 line .ini file [Archive] bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 sResourceDataDirsFinal= inside of your StarfieldCustom.ini Now , Vortex installs as does mine to //steamapps/common/Starfield So which path are we supposed to be using to install mods to, as I imagine most like me have these drive paths only totally different drives as well and do we need the StarfieldCustom.ini at both locations , I am happy if this is an either or as one definitive locations would be better and far less confusing to those new to modding, as its is now the Mod authors state //Documents normally on C: and Vortex wants the //Steamapps location, whichever drive you have that on any advice would be great
