In these cases, developer messages and forum hand messages can give conflicting instructions. I haven't confirmed any of these cases, but developer team has. On the other hand, some users have reported problems with applications, when MO2 is installed as portable version (which I recommend using). This can cause a big issues and I advice against that. Otherwise MO2 will set it's shop under AppData and manages files from there. I strongly advice against using instance version. There are two actual problems, which do not affect all players. Otherwise it will generate content to mod folder. I haven't found any actual issues - except that BodySlide BatchBuild (if being used) needs to be pointed to proper folder (CTRL when clicking Batch Build).

still has few issues to get ironed out, but I have around 100 hours behind me with that right now. I ran my whole Skyrim game and massive overhauls with old MO. If that happens you will have to delete the version you don't want to get the pointer reset.

Very rarely your system may get confused and get the pointer set to the wrong folder. The game should run as though nothing had happened. Then restore the names on the Old folders by removing the prefix. When you restore the folders you can either delete the new changed folders or rename them with a prefix, like 'Frost'. You must change the names before reinstalling.

Steam Library/Steam Apps/common/OldFallout4 Steam Library/Steam Apps/common/OldFallout 4 I usually prefix these folders with something like ' Old'. If you have a Steam Library/Steam Apps/common/Fallout4 folder, that has to be renamed as well. It doesn't matter whether you are doing this for Skyrim or Fallout the procedure is the same.īasically you have to rename both the Steam Library/Steam Apps/common/Fallout 4 folder and the C:/Documents/My Games/Fallout 4 folder. He explains how to rename your old files so the system can't see them and how to restore them when you want to return to the old version. Gopher explains how to do this when installing Enderal. You must set up a new installation by hiding your old installation.
