I did see some discussion about that but I don't think that is my problem. I have both MO2 and Skyrim/Wrye installed to my third drive (G) SSD. MO2 is installed outside of the Skyrim installation, but still on same drive.

Hello, First time poster here. First of all, thank you Lexy and team for the excellent guide. I'd say I'm an intermediate modder and it was easy enough for me to follow for the most part and the linked videos helped me out the rest of the way. I reached the finish line late last night and successfully got in game and set up all the MCM settings so I'll be ready to embark on a fresh playthough tonight. However, I have one concern. I was never able to successfully create a Wrye Bash patch as the program would always fail on trying to access the VFS with MO2. It would always give me a file folder is in use access error and fail. I tried updating both MO2 to latest dev version and Wrye the same but to no avail I could never do it. I can get Wrye to run natively outside of MO2 so it seems like it is related to how it interacts with MO2's virtual file system. I moved on and did everything else including making the Smash Patch with Mator Smash. It is my understanding that MS accomplishes similar results as Wrye so I'm hoping I'll be ok? Can someone enlighten me on if this is the case or is my installation going to have problems down the road? Thank you!
