cleavagesweat Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 does anyone know if I can move the virtual install folder location? there is no option in NMM options for the virtual folder. it plants it on C: > Games > Nexus Mod Manager > Skyrim > Mods > VirtualInstall and I don't see any option to change it in NMM options. anyone know if I am missing something? so insane to have this folder with GB of space used up for this and then on top of that the mods folder that has the mods for additional GB of space... lame management I think or I don't get he logic.
Guest Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 If you still want to use NMM use the "Move virtuallstall" options. Do not remove it manually. BTW: No they don't take up space, the available free space on your hd doesn't decrease by twice the file size, it's just that this kind of file linking also tricks Windows properties panel into thinking they're the real deal. If you deleted the VirtualInstall folder then the Windows file system automatically turned the hardlinked files into the real file and you completely messed up your NMM mod install. Do not worry. NMM is not eating your HDD space. It's just an image and info about your installed mods. You are fine.
