Mod Organizer does not actually create the virtual data folder. The virtual data folder actually never exists. Rather, Mod Organizer is simply a big fat liar. When you launch the game or application through Mod Organizer, Mod Organizer tells it a lie. It tells the game/program that the virtual data directory exists, and tells it where to find it. Once Mod Organizer has finished telling the program this lie, it does nothing. It has succeeded. The program believes Mod Organizer. Programs are very gullible. Mod Organizer doesn't have to stay active and constantly feed the program the lie. It tells it once, then leaves. | Mod Organizer does not actually create the virtual data folder.

The nice thing about these programs is that they are not only very gullible, but also are great gossipers. They tell everyone else that they interact with the lie as well. This is why if you launch an application through Mod Organizer and then launch an application through that application, that application also | The nice thing about these programs is that they are not only very gullible, but also are great gossipers.

So what is the lie that it tells the game/program? It tells it that all the files active in the profile are in the data folder, and it tells it that all files in conflict in the real data folder do not exist. Of course, it never mentions the conflicting files, as the program might get suspicious of the lie if it did that. Technically, it also lies about your INI files, plugins.txt, etc., as well. | So what is the lie that it tells the game/program?
