BooneoftheWasteland Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 When installing Skyrim first time, Steam said cannot connect servers are busy. Outstanding, great start. Anyhow it's still downloading something that seems to be related to Skyrim so I've no idea. I never got the option to install in the directory that I want to install (which I normally do, OB, FO3, FONV, DAO) So when I run the setup.exe I get the launch menu of starting the game or uninstalling it. One I'm sort of miffed I never got the option of choosing the directory but I let it go and play a bit. Now I go to mods, and I can't find folders anywhere, only the launch.exe!?! So I'm I running this game online? Horrible, just a horrible start. I tried being cool with Steam but I just hate it. So how do I install this game onto my hd? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? Why did this happen? Any answers will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneoftheWasteland Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Oh I did look in my c/program files/steam/ etc nothing there. My saves are under documents no problem there, I go to add remove programs and it is there, but I ran a search to find steam folders and skyrim folders and nothing.

They are here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneoftheWasteland Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for the response but I'm saying there is no such folder under program files/steam/steam apps/common/skyrim. I've been around long enough to understand this. I've done a search for all skyrim folders and only get the executable on my desktop and the saves in my documents folder. So where did the other files go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneoftheWasteland Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Alright for whatever reason it installed itself on my ssd drive where I have FO3 and New Vegas installed so it seems steam decided to install itself there without my consent because I certainly didn't put it there. It created it's own folder just under the New Vegas folder where I installed New Vegas on a separate hard drive. W.T.F.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
