How can I change my MO2 path to a different drive?

[richieandjane]

It's installing mods to my C: drive and I want it to install them to my E: drive. Help, please, I'm rather worried now.

Click on the configure settings button, then the paths tab, then change the directory.
MO2 installs mods to the mods folder. Just type in a new location.

But if you mean nexus is downloading mods to your c: drive that's a browser/windows thing. Just do a cut and paste of the downloaded file into the mo2 downloads directory.

Okay, I think I ought to clarify a few things from my slightly panicked first post. My MO base directory is C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/ModOrganizer/FO4 1, which is in my C: drive, which has very little room left. I want it to be in my E: directory,which has more room. If I copied the folder from Users on into E: and then changed the address in MO2, would that fix it? If I did a cut and paste of the downloaded file into the mo2 downloads directory, would future downloads go there instead of C:? Will I have to redownload my mods?

Okay... I did that, but it doesn't seem to have solved the issue. I'm trying to download a mod and get an error saying "Unable to write download to drive (return -1) Check the drive's available storage" Can I fix that?

Got this from reddit:

Just point your new MO2 setup to your old MO2 folders in the settings, the "Paths" tab :

If you just changed your MO2 folder, you shouldn't have lost anything.
