Mklink /d 'D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas' 'G:\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas'Īll one line, what this dose in short makes a fake folder in the D folder for fallout, this folder is differant in that far as the programs care its in D so you will want NMM to rescan for games and it should find it in the D drive folder for steam. So for me steam is on my D drive and fallout is on my G drive so the command looks like this
Next the commands the first line is where your steam is installed and the 2nd is where your game is installed. Personaly i have a shortcut to it on my desktop set to run as admin for other needs.
His idea was to make a symbolic link useing the mklink command threw the command prompt in admin mode, there was some small details that were missed that I stumbled threw and fiured out.įirst change your main steam folder from read only and make sure there is no fallout new vegas folder, which there shouldnt b if you installed the game to a diff drive like i did.
gave a work around if your game is installed on a diff drive then steam its self, I just got FONV and like Skyrim I was guna mod the hell out of it yet it would give the error like most steam games if you just run the exe its self. Go to your fallout folder, which by default is C:program files(x86)steamsteamappscommonFallout New Vegas - Delete the folder 'fallout new vegas' (In your case, wherever you have the game saved) Find where you installed Nexus mod manager (right click on it, go to properties, it will tell you its location) Uninstall the mod manager, if it asks to delete mods, say yes.
