Brandy1123 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) It seems to me any number of answers here can lead to game copy violations. I think this question is best asked on the STEAMypile forums. That way you can hear from the people who control game access directly, and avoid issues on what is and isn't legal.

fms1 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Steam and Skyrim should install on your HDD outside of your user account folder, meaning 1 copy is sufficient, where your problems may be is your game saves folder is in your user account (all different profiles) folders, and patch 1.5 and later, when the load list and plugins list (hidden files) were added, are also in the user account folders. So after you do your changes to what plugins are active and their load orders, each time after changing and before playing, those in the alt. profiles will have to be adjusted manually. This should allow you to do what you described, fingers crossed. EDIT 1: There is a user account thingy that prompts you "Do you want to allow changes to this computer" anytime you change or update in the Program Files folder, this was not what I was talking about above, but rather your user profiles folders. EDIT 2: Didn't think of this earlier, but Wrye Bash has/ had a saves tab that allowed multiple "game profiles" to be managed while using a single Win 7 profile, this way will be sooooo much simpler and easy.

Deleted4404112User Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) If you installed Skyrim as an admin then Skyrim should be across all profiles. Just search for it in the start menu and it should be there. Steam then syncs your account with Skyrim when you start it up on whatever windows profile your using. You should switch your main windows profiles to admins and turn off user account control. Edited July 29, 2012 by DJGIRISH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
