Move MO2 profiles and saves

[jsonger47]

I have tried to setup vortex to transfer my MOD2 profiles and saves is it even possible?

If the answer is here somewhere I am sorry I missed it.

I can move all mod2 mods and such but cannot use current save game files. I cannot find them .

Over 50 gb of files. Sorry if I posted this wrong I am new to using forum.

I would like to be able to use old profiles from mod2 but if I can`t I will just stay with current manager.

Vortex probably is for ones that will start new.

Doesn't MO/MO2 keep the save files inside the MO/MO2 folder?

Or doesn't MO/MO2 keep it's own profiles for EVERYTHING?

 

I would suggest looking in

 

C:\users\<your name>\Documents\My Games\<name of game>\

 

Now look if there's another folder besides SAVES there.

If there is, open it up and see if your savegames are there.

If not, open the SAVES folder and see if there's a Folder4 inside your SAVEs folder, your saves could be there too.

 

That's how savegame managers deal with profiles, they'll make a change to the savegame path in the game.ini file that points to a different folder.

it depends on the installation of MO. MO1 was portable only and kept the saves inside of its own directory by default (the profiles folder to be more specific), MO2 can either be portable and save everything in its own directory by default (similar to MO1) or use instances and save everything in a ModOrganizer/Game Name folder inside the users appdata directory with a profiles folder inside there containing the users saves. (this is all assuming the user did not move the paths)

 

This only applies if you checked the local save games option for that particular profile in MO.

I know where mod2 stores save game files. But from vortex I can`t see them

My mod2 stores save game files on onedrive. But one can just change game .ini and store them else where.

Do not have that option with Vortex.

Download them and put them in your saves folder

Since the person writing Vortex is also the same person who wrote MO/MO2, then there's a good possibility some of those QOL features a might appear in Vortex as well.
