Wolfpack49 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 So this is the first I have encountered some strangeness with profiles. Typically, when I clone a profile and use it as a base for a new one, a directory name with the profile id (the upper/lower case letters) is created to house the new profile's save files. I have Save games and Settings set to yes. This time, however, no new directory was created and the new profile saves are mixed in with the old profile saves directory (the one I cloned). The new profile does have a new id in Vortex, but no new save directory in Windows. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there any way to get those saves separated, even if I do it manually? Thanks in advance for any tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack49 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Addendum -- I saw the bit in Gopher's video about possibly needing to disable/renable separate Saved games in the profile and then switching profiles, but the new profile saves are still going to that old profile. Next I'll try just cloning this new profile and see if I can ge the separate saves that way... EDIT: The cloned profile still has saves going to the original profile. I've tried doing the Open profile folder in the new profile and moving the saves there, but in game, the saves continue to look at the old profile. Hmm, could it be the ini settings are pointing somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack49 Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Okay solved. For some reason the original ini's in the profile directory were stuck on the old profile path: C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\skyrimse\profiles\r1YDuBS8i\Skyrim.iniC:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\skyrimse\profiles\r1YDuBS8i\SkyrimCustom.ini SLocalSavePath=Saves\B1hgW5NQ5\ I changed the setting in the inis to the correct folder and redeployed, but no success, but going into the regular location for those files when the profile was active and changing them fixed the location. My guess is I ran BethINI at some point on the old profile and hardcoded the ini settings to the old path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanderat Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 BethIni is to be avoided. It enforces strange choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack49 Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Yeah, I think cloning a profile after changini ini's with something like BetINI would carry over the BethINI changes to the new one. I don't use BethINI often, guess I'll use it less lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
