Move the Save/Mod/Blueprint files from %appdata% folder to My Documents

This is just a suggestion. Can you please move the files located in %appdata% to the My Documents folder. The files being stored in %appdata% are filling up my small ssd and if they were moved to the My Documents it wold free up the space on it. I have all my Steam games installed to a seperate larger HD because I only use my smaller ssd fo windows applications. All of my other games use the My Documents folder which I can link to the other larger drive. Thank You;)

You could make tje SE %APPDATA% Directory a symlink to a directory in my documents.This way your stuff would be in my documents and SE can use it's default path for it.

No sorry, the folder is specialized folder dedicated by Windows OS to store data the application needs. We dont consider them as documents.

Hey thanks for the response. I just googled symlink and I think Im gonna be able to figure this out. Last time I tried to it didnt work but it seems there is a app to help with this process. I guess I should complain to Windows for not allowing to link all of the folders in the userdata.
