Tim is asking for help about MO, not really that knowledgeable with what it actually does in the background here >___< https://steamcommunity.com/app/337070/discussions/4/622954023420274011/

well with DD you can always see the files you can see with Windows Explorer but not the virtual folders handled by MO. would be better if we somehow got it to work like Bodyslide, Tes5Edit and many other programs work so DD only will use files that is used by MO and not all that is skipped or overwritten aswell. i also found that it would deselect empty folders and such if there was none like stated. ofc by getting MO to work with DD flawlessly it would need to use links twice as one for MO and one for DD at the same time, not even sure how that can work as MO has no folder to host these in.

hmmm im using Windows 8.1 Pro with MO v1.2.14 with the steam version of DD. im going to try reinstalling DD maybe that works, too bad i have to reboot for that :/

well the reason i try to start DD with MO as a launcher is so the files handled by MO is seen by DD, its so all the extra files that isnt being used will not be seen by DD. and yes you have to rebuild the DD every time you are changing anything with mods in MO, the good thing with DD is the ease of usage and safety it has. it always has a safe backup of the files as folders are only renamed and linked, new and edited files are written to the origin drive right away so if you crash for some reason its safe on your SSD and such. i also find that i get better loading speeds and alot better assets streaming with huge ugrids with speedmult. as for specs here; Size of DD: about 24GB, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on what my PC is using ATM Total Amount of RAM: 32GB my Skyrim Game and MO Mods folders are both located on my SSD's (that is having performance problems i think, always been slow for me :/) for what files i load into DD its mostly folders inside my mods folder that i know will get loaded like large texture packs and such, would be better if DD saw the MO folders after they have been handled tho so we can load only the files that is being used.

Hi, i have been using DimmDrive from quite some time now, but somehow its not liking MO very much over here. i got DD working with MO the first time i tried by adding DD to MO and starting DD from within MO, then using the "add new" button inside the apps tab, that way DD would see the finished modded files. as i said, it worked the first time i added my modded folder, after a week or so without trying to use DD with Skyrim i noticed that the folder i did set up didnt update my new modded files that MO handled. i have tried starting everything in admin mode, removing and adding skse to DD again (that actually didnt find my MO handled files at all, esp's bsa's and other files that was in the old entry of DD could not be found again and not all the new MO handled files either) would love for someone to get back to me about the best way to use these two, it worked once for me doing it this way..... yet now it wont at all. in other notes, yet we could use DD to add the mods folder for MO but that folder is a mess alot of the time as many many of the files are not even used and with limited space of a ramdisk its a problem. -------------------- DimmDrive have mostly gotten traffic since it launched on Steam and with Skyrim getting slower and slow with alot of mods it might be needed from some even if you have an SSD. they got the Steam Hub they keep up to date alot here and ofc the Official site of theirs aswell.
