Have you tried telling NMM to rescan your games so it picks up the new location?

[mellophonist]

if your game is on a different drive you need to raid them together so they can talk to each other, at least that's my understanding of it, then again I've never used an SSD before.

You will need to have Steam on the ssd also - then install Skyrim using steam. Then NMM will be able to find it.

If you have steam installed somewhere else

• find this steams default save pathway C:\Program Files (x86)
• now find the Steam folder
• copy/past or drag it and drop it in the new drive
• NMM saves to your games data folder so it should have been effectively moved
• i would however rescan games with NMM and make sure it finds the pathway to the new drive.

*note* i have done this with own system.

*note* if you copy past you well have duplicated all steam games!

*note* i don't know how copying the games or the steam client stands in legal precedence.

You can also just tell Steam you want to install the game in a different location and leave the Steam files in the default location. NMM will find the game file in the game scan and it works just fine. That is how I am set up now as I have an SSD named games just for my games.
