Change Deployment Target Path

[JuggsAddict14]

My target path is currently deploying mods to a Vortex created folder called mods inside of the games mods folder. How can I change it so Vortex deploys mods to the parent folder instead of the child folder? If I delete the entire mods folder, Vortex will recreate both the parent and child mods folders and deploy the mods inside the child folder.

Anyone?  Same issue and its oddly causing no recipes to show (probably a bad mod rather than location but the added variable is annoying)

Where does vortex store its target mod path for a game and/or how can you change it?

uninstalled, reinstalled... apparently still has a specific config somewhere in vortex.

Fixed it - odd though.

Not quite sure how it triggered to reset the UDF but that was it.

oddities

settings > mods > mods staging folder is contextual - so its specific to the game you're manipulating - vs having a selectable setting by game - i reset that, but that's the staging folder and not really the UDF

I removed vortex managing then uninstalled multiple times 

I then forgot to remove vortex managing, uninstalled the game and when i restarted vortex it asked me for my UDF  and all set

Might be an extra step - when uninstalled via steam there were a bunch of files left over - uninstalled again, deleted everything in the app folder, reinstalled

that was likely it.  There was a mod deployment path in one of the json files - i updated but it was already in the bad folder

likely best to just uninstall, remove everything manually from app folder and move on

I also ran into this issue and found a solution. This thread popped up on a google search so Im going to post here even though the topic is older:

The location of the file storing the User Defined Folder for Vortex:

C:\Users\{Your user name here}\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\launchersettings.json

You can either open the file and edit the location, or you can trash it and have Vortex prompt you for a new location.  I hope this helps anyone else having the same issue.
