How do i change the mod directory

[Masonfx]

MY C Drive is pretty small only at 256 GB with 45 GB of space left,
How do i change the mod directory? i dont want to use the C drive for mods, i want to
use my E Drive for mods

[Børre Bæver]

As far as I'm aware, you can't. If it doesn't say in Mod settings ingame, you can't yet. The most you can do is move Bonelab to your E drive and use the C Drive for mods.

On windows, you can try making a hard symbolic link that connects to the mods folder

I wish someone could just type out the command easily so i could just copy and paste it since this is too complicated for my normal brain

The issue is its not simple, nor does it work all the time, for MOST of my stuff its transferred to my D drive, but there still are some things like Steam VR workshop crap that insists on being on my C drive

I'm probably late, but i had issue same as yours, so i'll just give you cmd line where you need to simply choose your mods folder location and change username to your

1. Create folder where you going to put your mods
2. Drag and drop mods from your mods folder to your new folder that you created
3. Delete your bonelab mods folder at local low
4. Open CMD line as admin
5. Paste this cmd line in it
mklink /J "C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\LocalLow\Stress Level Zero\BONELAB\Mods" "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BONELAB\YOUR NEW MODS FOLDER"

6. Change "YOUR USER NAME" to your computer name
7. Change "YOUR NEW MODS FOLDER" path to path where you want to your store your mods
8. Press enter

This will create folder which is linked to your new mods folder

"6. Change "YOUR USER NAME" to your computer name"
The user name of what and where?

when you go to mod and go to users whatever name you click on is the one you use so if it is Karbon then use that. I think that is what he means. and for "YOUR NEW MODS FOLDER" i think it means whatever you named the new folder you made

so i did this correctly after actually reading, but now i can't seem to open the folders that the link connected with

i found out why, the mods folder i made just did not exist

Seriously, i dont know how in 2024 you will force people to have mods in their main drive and not where the game is installed
