Title is the question, my old trusty 500gb ssd went to jesus, now im stuck with a 60gb ssd as my C drive. Vortex is installed at d, every folder its supposed to use is set on D, it still writes everything into the c/users/me/appdata and gets stuck cuz it's full.

Please help me out

Do yourself a favor, SSD prices are pretty reasonable right now. If you can, get a 480 or 500GB SSD and clone your C: drive to it. Messing with your appdata could crash the OS, then you lose everything. A 250GB drive can work, but why take a chance. I just "finished" recovering from a similar situation where I had 100GB set for my C: drive and ran out of space. Also limit what OneDrive can backup if you're using windows 10.

I'm looking into installing Vortex on my F: drive. That SSD is only for gaming. I need to hit YouTube and see how that works. I've never had problems using NMM that way, but want to find out why Nexus makes it sound difficult. Good luck.

As HadToRegister explains in the above post, use the custom installer to install Vortex wherever you want. You can also install your Downloads folder wherever you want. You can even install your Mod Staging Folder wherever you want, so long as it's on the same drive as your game (but not in your game folder). The folk who make this sound difficult are the folk who didn't read far enough to find out that this is all there is to it.
