JakubDaviau Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Hello! I have recently been working on a mod on Skyrim SE CK but to test it out on VR I need to copy all the files and such and it's a bit of a hassle. Both games are on the same hard drive anyway. I wondered if there is any way to "link" appropriate folders in such a way that Skyrim VR would use these directories? Let's say I have directory /Skyrim SE/Data/Textures/MyMod and /Skyrim SE/Data/Meshes/MyMod and instead of copying these directories can I link them to Skyrim vr somehow for testing the mod?

It does sound like it would allow VR to use files from SE texture and mesh directories just like I need though
scorrp10 Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 The source looks trustworthy. I would try. This pretty much looks equivalent to Linux softlink. (ln -s)
JakubDaviau Posted February 21, 2024 Author Posted February 21, 2024 I have tried it and it seems to work fine, exactly as I needed. now I can keep working on the mod in SE and test it on VR as well, thanks a lot!
