How are files loaded into the game? (SSD Degradation concern) #183

Hi My main question is this, How exactly are mod files loaded into the game? My concern is a heavily modded setup could be writing over the base game files, and for SSD users could be a heavy cost long-term. |

Yes. Mods are loaded from whatever you've defined as the "Root Directory" in the plugin settings. It can be stored anywhere, but you probably want to avoid putting it onto slow or external media when possible. It is 100% portable and be moved around if wanted. Unlike textools, mods are fully unpacked so that you can do whatever you want with the raw files. |
