Therises Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 So, I was kind of forced to install this new mod manager, because, for some reason, I no longer can download mods with NMM - I can't log in within it.And I thought this new mod manager would be better, but I was disappointed. Vortex wants me to specify folder in which it'll download and store mods and somehow it needs that this folder would be on the same drive as the game (Fallout 4 in this very case).My question is - why? I've got ~20GB worth of mods (not only for Fallout 4, but Skyrim too). And somehow, NexusModManager was able to store downloaded mods on a separate drive, whereas, Vortex can't. And what if I have Fallout 4 and Skyrim on different drives? What do I do then?P.S.: I can't move all my mods onto drive with Fallout 'cause it's actually my system drive (C:/) and it has like only ~12Gb of free space.

You could've just updated NMM here at github Your DOWNLOAD folder (just like NMM) can be anywhere, the Mod Staging Folder, needs to be on the same drive as your game, it's that way because of Bethesda Game Engine Limitations.
