rmm200 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I will just say you can not do it with hard links. Your mod directory is effectively part of your game directory.Each mod only has one copy, and a hard link from your game directory points to it.It is a Windows restriction that hard links only work within the same disk partition.Vortex also supports symlinks; I can not address if that would serve your needs.
5MHdxfn Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 I have the same setting: Games on SSD, big data on HDD. I do not unsterstand why there is no easy to use option to store staggging path on HDD and game on SSD. I think it is an operation like: copy active mods to game folder; deleted not active mod from game folder. As a gamer I do not care about hard link, soft link, Microsoft thinking and so on. I just want to keep the big, not always used stuff on HDD and the most important on SSD. Blame me for thinking like this. For your information: I have more than compressed 200 GB Mod data for two games. Uncomprossed they will use more than 60% of my SSD. Moving games from SSD to HD is not want I call OK.
rmm200 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 NMM actually copies your mods to your game directory.Vortex does not; the only copy of your mod is in the staging folder.The hard link restrictions are from Microsoft - not Vortex. See if Symlinks will do what you want. They are slower - but more flexible.
