MRDotted Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I have Vortex downloaded on my 1TB HDD, and my games onto my 1TB SSD. However, whenever I download a mod using Vortex, instead of the mod either being downloaded directly into the game files, or being downloaded onto Vortex and then injected upon game launch, Vortex for some reason creates a completely new file (which I am not at all warned or informed about) on my 120GB boot drive, that doesn't contain ANYTHING to do with modding and/or games. So, how do I stop Vortex from doing this? How do I get it do download the mods to the correct location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Go to settings and change the download folder. It's very straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andal00 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Go to settings and change the download folder. It's very straightforward.Simply doesn't work for my case. I tried to select a new folder inside D: but it keeps downloading in appdata > roaming > vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 1) Open your own topic. Too hard to keep track of whose problem we are talking about.2) Report - exactly - the character string you are entering to set the download folder, and any error message you get.

anjenthedog Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I have Vortex downloaded on my 1TB HDD, and my games onto my 1TB SSD.

So, how do I stop Vortex from doing this? How do I get it do download the mods to the correct location? FWIW, there's a "configuration" file associated with nexus/vortex connections that's saved when performing a nexus/vortex transaction. Afaik it contains update info and other vortex associated details about that mod. Also, if I'm not mistaken, when you install a mod, the original archive is stored intact, and its contents are used to populate the roaming folder that skyrim uses for the game, so you have a working copy, and a backup copy, in case the working copy (in roaming) has to be refreshed. Aside from that. as was noted above, set your download folder in vortex. EDIT: Doh! sorry for necroing this thread. I didn't notice the date until after I'd posted. Idiota!!!
