7531Leonidas Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Try right-clicking on the Skyrim entry, and look for Properties. Click it, and there should be a button to "Move Install Folder". It is the bottom button of three on this dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7531Leonidas Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I am SO very sorry, I skipped one action ;( Using the home of your Library tab in Steam, right click on The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim Special Edition. Then you click on 'Properties', you should see a dialog box with the choices "General, Updates, Local Files, Language, Betas, Controller" stacked over each other on the left side. Select "Local Files", and you should see the three buttons, the bottom of the three is "Move Install Folder". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7531Leonidas Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Let's make sure that you are seeing the same things I am in the Steam menu. I have uploaded two image files, just go to my profile, and look at them. I am on Win 10, and I don't know if the Steam interface changes much in other OS.

7531Leonidas Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Well, I did a quick search on Steam discussions, for move installation, and got this on one result: Gwarsbane Feb 13 @ 7:37am Install a small game to what ever place you want to move the game to and then the move option will popup.For what ever reason Valve has decided that a different install folder must exist before a move can happen.Last edited by Gwarsbane; Feb 13 @ 7:38am I hope that this finally helps...

GoGoGordy Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Thanks for your self so far. But where do I want to move it? Right now, I have two SSE folders; one in Documents -> my games -> Skyrim Special Edition (which contains a file called saves, and has old saves.) The other is on Program Files (x86) -> Steam -> Steamapps -> common -> Skyrim Special Edition (which seems to have the same files and apps as regular Skyrim.) Also, I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but creating a desktop shortcut through Steam doesn't work; it just creates a NotePad document. But I don't think it's a big deal since I can just launch the program from the second Skyrim Special Edition folder. EDIT: In case it comes up, I only have a C:, no D: Edited February 16, 2022 by GoGoGordy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 In my case, I made sure that Skyrim SE went on a much larger 2nd drive. For yourself, you get to choose, just get it out of the (x86) folder. The Documents folder will, AFAIK, follow the change. Maybe just try making a folder on your C: drive for Bethesda/Steam, and see if you can move your Skyrim installation there. My move was quite some time ago, and I don't remember any specific steps, or that I had any special problem with moving it. So, try making a new folder on your C: drive, and making a Steam folder inside that one, all the others should be created when you make the install inside the Steam folder.
