hydroxy11 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Should be so simple ill punch myself for not figuring it out myself I have 2 instances of MO (1 for SkyrimSE and 1 for Fallout) i would like to know how to create 2 shortcuts for MO that open up each game instead of having to switch games each time.i know its likely changing the target in the shortcut properties but i cant seem to get the launch argument correct. any help would be awesome TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 the way MO works is that you install an instance of MO for each of these gamesso you should have 2 installs of MOgo to one of their installation folders , create a shortcut of that MO and rename it to the game it's installed forfollow the same with the second installation , and there you have it :)hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroxy11 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 2 instances yes, only one install though. there is only one exe each path for mo in ffallout and skyrim is only the folders used for mod virtualisation this is how i remember it working, but it doesn't seem to be the case, likely because they are neither portable instances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroxy11 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 here's what i mean. i have only installed MO once, i'm fully aware i can install it multiple times. but using more than one game doesn't create another set of files for MO. or at least it doesn't anymore. i am required to create 2 shortcuts for mo and add a launch argument to the target field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 how I recall this working is that you need to install it multiple times , one for each gameI don't think they've changed it can you use the same MO2 installation for both games? can you switch between them in MO2?because I don't recall this being an option (at least not in MO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroxy11 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) yes you can switch between the games. the main installation for MO2 is empty all of the mods files for each game are in their own folder and yes it wasn't an option in MO, you had to create a new portable instance for every game. Clicking the MO2 icon in the top left corner of the window gives you the option to restart and change game instance Edited February 8, 2018 by hydroxy11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
