Kryseth Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Is this a relatively simple process, or can it mess up my current configuration? I really want to buy a new ssd drive just for games, or at the very least move my install out of the program files folder (yes, I know :( ).
0 GrantSP Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 MO is a "portable executable" which simply means there are no hidden settings stored elsewhere on your system, no registry settings or obscure INIs found in "My Documents" or such like.This means all you need do is move the installation folder to the new location and either via the "Settings" tool inside MO, or with a text editor open modorganizer.ini, and ensure al the paths to the various tools you have installed are correctly set. The actual mods, downloads and profiles you have are safely stored in those folders named accordingly.

I wouldn't have thought :) I got Wrye Bash installed in the skyrim folder though. Does that program act the same way as MO and TES5Edit? Or should I just uninstall it first, then move the Skyrim folder to the new steam folder and reinstall it?
0 GrantSP Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 WB can be safely uninstalled and reinstalled into another location. It too doesn't need to be installed into the game's folder structure, it gathers all the needed information about which game(s) to work with by their registry settings.
0 Kryseth Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Thank you so much :) It's now moved without any problems. No more worrying about program files!EDIT: I *** love Mod Organizer :) Edited December 5, 2015 by Kryseth
