Moved Fallout 4 from C:\ to G:\ ... Now for VMM

[shadekur]

I uninstalled FO4 from C:\ and installed it to G:\ using Steam (for both actions).

Now, I'd like to either:

Goal A. Point Vortex MM on C:\ to FO4 on G:\ , or if that isn't possible,

Goal B. Install Vortex MM onto G:\ where it needs to go in order to function.

Please let me know what steps I need to take. FWIW:
- OS -- Windows 10 64-bit v22H2
- CPU -- Intel Core i7-6700HQ
- Graphics -- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M w/ G-SYNC

Thanks!

You don't have to move Vortex. You will have to move the mod staging folder to the new drive where the game is. You can do that in  Settings -> Mods 

Vortex should also detect the new game install location. Did you Purge mods in Vortex before moving the game? If not you might have problems.

Thanks, Chemboy1. Yes, I did purge mods in VMM before diving into chaos. I read that much elsewhere.

I just now attempted your instructions regarding Settings > Mods. Success? Unclear. 

1. Opened VMM.
2. Clicked on "Settings".
3. "Mods" is listed under each game (in this instance, FO4). Clicked that.
4. Found nothing called "Move Staging Folder" or facsimile anywhere. I presume it would be in the orange task bar above the mod list. But again, I didn't find it.

To be sure, I clicked on "Deploy Mods" on the task bar before closing VMM. But I'm pretty sure I did that after moving FO4 onto G:\ drive, since I received a "Some mods are redundant" message following this command.

You're not looking for "move staging folder", you're looking for "mods staging folder".  Changing that will cause Vortex to move the staging folder and all mods in it.

And make sure you're choosing "mods" from the top list of tabs after hitting settings (should be "interface/Vortex/mods/download/workarounds/theme"), not from the list on the left.
