Moving the location of mods

[TJW65]

Hello everybody,

despite the issues i faced at launch yesterday i want to throw in a different question today.
I'm trying to move the location of the Mods folder away from my C drive. I tried putting the path into the "gamesettings" XML. In previous versions this worked for me but this time - first FS i own on Steam - it just reverts the file back to normal.

Any Ideas?

Cheers!

Make sure <modsDirectoryOverride active="true" is set to to true
directory="Insert new folder address in here"/> and it should be all done

That's exactly what i've done yesterday.
But i'll give it another try later on, maybe it'll work.

you editing the one in the doucuments/mygames/farmingsim22? defintly clicking save before you close it?

Should do that's exactly what I've done and it works for me. I even posted a video here on Steam in the videos section, showing quite a few changes you can make to your game and gamesettings.xml to enable additional settings and features in the game.

Definitely the line: <modsDirectoryOverride active="true" directory="INSERTFOLDERLOCATION"/> still works in FS22.

It does work now, although with a very slight trick.
I tried it two more times, it just reset the file every time.
But marking the file as "read only" solves that and i can use my mod folder on another drive now. I think i should be fine with that.

Cheers!

Guys, I'm wrong I did exactly as you wrote but it doesn't work, how do I solve it?
