because of the anniversery update to skyrim i need to move it from my external hard drive to c drive, that one is easy enough. my issue is moving the mods i have (200+) could someone please tell me how to do this as ive never done it before? or better yet point me in the direction of a good tutorial that will do the trick.

Just a partial answer. Well more than partial...

Issue Purge in Vortex before you move Skyrim. If you don't - Windows will helpfully convert all your hard links to actual copies of your mods. This is not a good thing.

So:

1) "Purge" mods

2) Move Skyrim

3) Tell Vortex where Skyrim is now

4) On Vortex Settings/Mods adjust the disk drive for your staging directory. Has to be same drive as the game. That - should - move your mods for you.

5) On the Mods page click "Deploy".

6) Done - maybe.

while im waiting for skyrim to move, i have a question. in settings -> vortex -> multi user mode i have it set to (unintentionally) shared i recently learned thats why my profiles are sharing settings & just did nothing about it due to the confusing / complaced nature of fixing it. i made a post about it before but cant find it now. anyway, is there anything i can do to make THAT easier before clicking deploy?
