Can't install Oblivion outside of Program Files

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased the Steam Edition for Oblivion and I want to install it outside of Program Files, in order to use the Construction Set Extender and other things for Oblivion.

The problem is that I can't. There are no other options to install the game.

What can I do?

If you have multiple drives, you can create a new "Steam Library" on a different drive.

 

If you don't have multiple drives you can get Windows to set up a second, virtual, drive with your free space.

 

Or, you can reinstall Steam and place it outside of Program Files, which will automatically place all your games outside of Program Files as well.

How do I create a new drive?

You should look on Youtube for complete directions.

 

Basically, you go to the search bar in Windows, look for "disk management", right click your drive in the disk management tool, choose "shrink volume" to make free space, let that finish, choose the created free space and right-click to make a new volume, format it to give it a drive letter and you are good to go.

Thanx. I finally made it work and also installed Oblivion in the new Drive.
