rmm200 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 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" mods2) Move Skyrim3) Tell Vortex where Skyrim is now4) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolognaSandwitch Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 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?
