Possible to create a sub-folder for BSA archives?

Is it possible or is there a tool that allows you to stick all BSA archives from mods into a custom sub-folder called "mod BSAs" or something?

If you mean "stick them in a sub-folder and use them in the game still", then the answer is probably not.

 

The paths in both the ESP/ESM/ESLs and the NIFs which refer to the contents of those BSAs are relative paths that assume they are starting in the DATA folder. Moving the BSAs to a new directory would break every single path unless you had a means to edit them all.

This.

 

Plus the game engine automatically assumes that BSA files will be in the Data folder with their respective ESP / ESM / ESL file. Moving them will completely break their ability to be loaded.
