Problem with the Steam Video Games path

[Gallegol el Gamer Oficial]

Hi, It turns out that today I have reinstalled Steam on my new hard drive, but it turns out that I want to install my steam games in another folder on the same hard drive, where steam was installed. Is there any way to do that?

Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders

I tried but for some reason it won't let me do it

The client limits you to one folder location per drive. You can, apparently, add other locations by editing certain files. At this point though you run the risk of something changing in the future and breaking what was once working. I just did a quick search and loads of topics on this came up. Your mileage may vary.

There rarely is a need to have two separate locations on the same drive. For my own case where I have two separate locations, it's a case of putting games onto a drive which might be faster or has more space. The actual location on that drive is almost irrelevant, as long as Steam knows where it is. In other words, the functionality is really suited to swap games between *drives*. I guess that makes the "Steam Library Folders" wording somewhat misleading.

On the other hand, I'm aware that sometimes mods work better if they are outside the Windows Program Files folder. One thing you might try is setting a junction for the game folder in steamapps to a separate folder outside of Program Files ... if that is indeed the reason why you would like a separate folder on the same drive?

Actually I like to have everything in order and the order that I want to assign to things is "in one folder the programs and in another the games."

-Steam Videogame Installation Path: D:\Videojuegos\ Steam

-Steam Installation Path: D:\Programas\ Steam

If you notice it is the same hard drive "D:" but as I tell you when I put it to the test in steam itself it does not work
