MisterCerberus Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I am aware that PatcherGUI is necessary for installing XCOM mods. In the instructions for the program, it states that the game should not be installed in 'C:/Program Files', because the mods will not work if it is. The problem is that if I tell Steam to install the game into another folder, it simply returns 'There is already a Steam folder on this drive', which is true, that's where all my other games are installed, but it's in Program Files. Is there a way around this which doesn't involve me buying a new drive or uninstalling and reinstalling all of my games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdngmikey Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 You have to actually create a new SteamLibrary folder from within Steam first. On the Steam app click Steam - Settings - Downloads - Steam Library Folders - Add Library Folder - Find The folder that you want to put the new Steamlibrary folder in and then select New Folder, you can then rename this folder and hit "OK" and then press "Select". You can now install games in this new folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
