How to Move Steam Games & Libraries

Hello, I have a small question. I wanna move my skyrim folder, but the thing is, I have already installed some mods, as well as a couple of modding tools (like Loot), so I wonder, with anything in my game or with my mods get broken if I move skyrim right now?

A niche I never knew could exist: uplifting gaming technical instructions ASMR. Your voice is audiobook worthy but an audiobook wouldn't contain your slick editing 😌 truly an S tier visual and audio experience, that I fancy throwing up on the tv while I'm cooking.

Nice job on the tutorial and happy to learn about the steam "other directory" button. Curious why you didn't move Steam out of program files rather than creating a second library on the same drive though?

New to Pc, and ive tried this step by step but its telling me theres an existing drive/file apologies if I've missed a key step. Would I need to uninstall and reinstall a game say like Skyrim or Steam to get this to work properly?

HELP. I load my plugins to creation kit, But when I go to upload my plugins there are no archive files to pack?

Just discovered your channels. I know most of the stuff you talk about. But I still listen to your videos for chill vibes. It's like gamer nerd ASMR ;-) Thanks for being chill and so thorough in your tutorials.

How about, how to move steam games to another pc???

Hello Gamerpoets...I would love to see you make a video on OpenMW. I would love to see you explain how to install mods the OpenMW way without MO2.
You can choose the smallest modlist mentioned in their website "I heart Vanilla"

Trying to install a old mod on a old game. I need a second directory. I followed the steps multiple times to create a new directory on the same drive. When I go into storage, it doesn’t show a second directory.

Help would be awesome if possible. I have no idea what I did wrong.

Hi! I tried this method, but when I try to move the game to the new location, Steam says there is only one. Would you know what causes this? Thank you in either case!

This was a much needed and well done tutorial as usual. Thank you GP!

Need help.
I moved skyrim out of program files.....followed to a T. Downgraded to 1.597 again....now it wont run.
It says engine fixes.dll

REL/Relocation.h(567): failed to open file

Ehat do i need to do?

I don't even need to do 99% of what your uploads cover, but it's just so relaxing to watch so I watch them through anyway haha <3

100k special when?

All of this worked until the final step of moving the files and Steam is saying failed "update required". I'm doing this for Skyrim Special Edition. I've purposely avoided the latest update to stop it from breaking all of my mods. Seems they really want me to update my game so they can get me to pay for the mods they have. Any ideas of a workaround? It's not a huge deal but I would like to move the game out of my program directory if all possible since it's said it can cause issues.

Good to see you back. You make modding a lot more enjoyable and a lot stressing than it needs to be.

Thank You young man... Have a great day Michael :)🙃

Noice.
Almost at 100K my dude.

Is it possible to run two installations of a game using this method.

You set yourself high goals and you meet them. Congratulations!

Another professional, paced and soothing tutorial! Great work GP!

A true Legend you are

Greetings modders Hi Michael I still play Skyrim and other Bethesda titles but I don't get stuck as much as before. In the Past i visited here hundreds of times and spent many hours. The biggest help i have had was I started using Mod Organizer on all Bethesda games that really helped a lot. will save this article in my trouble library. If Micheal has brought it up it will be a thing. I'm an old gamer and recently I have been paying attention to politics because some lunatics decided to elect a fat retard president america and the world is in serious trouble. Anyway thanks Michael subscriber since around 2014.

This 60 year old gamer from Yorkshire was just wondering about how to do this, very much appreciated.

Just curious if there is any way to move the Skyrim Save folder to a different drive (other than the default C:). My C:/ drive is close to full and I have to delete saves to maintain space. I looked online and it seems that there is no way to do this. Thanks for your helpful videos.

so why exactly are you using a app when you can just go to the steamapps/common folder and drag and drop it to a other drive's common folder then you uninstall it from steam and reinstall it under the drive were you transferred the file to and tada it wil verify

Been using your videos since 2020 and just noticed that I was not subscribed Subscribed now! You're the best at explaining this stuff, thanks a lot, man!

Thanks mate. Just what I needed as I have a new 4TB NVMe drive arriving... Good to see you again :)

Dude in case nobody has told you. You are super charismatic, I love the style of your videos, really well done. ❤

ty sir. commenting for the algo. great voice, great video. have a good week, man.

Is it possible to move a modded skyrim with mod organizer to another pc without breaking things tho ?

HELLO, good video! 🤩

Looking Good GP!

Now we need a video on how to move your MO2 mods for that one game that you had to move to another drive 👀

Why isn't there a SAVE feature? as in, I can save it in GamerPoets playlist that I created.

I've been doing this since before Steam made it a feature; I had to use a third party app back in the day to create the new library. Great guide! I love that your videos are so concise, none of the fluff that some other content creators add.

its nice that the storage settings are in the right category finally

Thanks, man! Another great tutorial.

Been a while since I watched your content. Thanks for continuing to give us great tutorials.
