I had a disk space problem on C (SSD) so i have the big Pack folder outsourced to E (HDD) I have change the Packages path in Modmanager: old= C:\spiele\rFactor2\Core\Core\Packages | new=E:\rF2 Pack\Packages With this changes i cant install a vmod online. Is a change in the .plr required?
You need to keep a 'Packages' named folder where it was originally. It's where vmods (amongst other things) are stored in when you use the 'get mod' feature. btw ...rFactor2\Core\Core\Packages is a very unusual path for the Packages folder to say the least. It shouldn't be in \Core folder in the first place, let alone in \Core\Core folder.
I use a SSD aswell and i have my Packages folder on my HDD path "D:\Rfactor2 Bits\Packages" been this way since build 60. For online vMods it just downloads them into my "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\rFactor2\Packages" which i move later to my new packages folder I agree. hope this helps
There is a packages folder option in the plr file, you can manually enter a new location there. Then DL's mods and such will go there. +1. Don't put stuff in the Core folder. You can change your Packages folder in ModMgr so you can install mods from a different place. However, this new location isnt used by the game unless you make the plr file change mentioned above.
Thank you If i change the path in plr file it says no mods installed when i try start rf2. plr changes i made Package Dir="D:\Rfactor2 Bits\Packages" don't work for me.
