YakovGrozniy Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 About five months ago I got two drives for my computer for the first time. I had planned to install Skyrim on my SSD for loading purposes and NMM on my HDD for space purposes. However when went to install NMM I got a message that said something to the effect that it works better or quicker when it and its folders are on the same drive as the games it is managing mods for. I don't remember the exactly what it said as it was five months ago. I decided for simplicity's sake to just put it on my SSD and live with it. Now, I've seen a couple people mention that they don't have a problem with NMM on one drive and Skyrim on another. However I'm super cautious and a worrier. I would really appreciate it if someone could elaborate to me: 1. Why such a message would come up during install if there is no real issue. 2. Am I correctly remembering the existence or wording of the message. 3. Is there any threat to the stability of my modded games in the event that I chose to migrate NMM to my HDD / Should I uninstall then reinstall all mods prior to and post migration.

Skagens Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) According to this guide, you shouldn't have any issues about where you choose to install NMM. It's going to scan for your games anyway when you install it for the first time. I don't know much about NMM since it's been several years since I've used it but I would recommend you back up or uninstall your mods if you choose to install NMM in another location. EDIT: I also stumbled upon this forum post. I haven't read all the replies but you might find some help there.
