Adding a mod folder with no C directory

from Sins Forums

So I'm at college right now, and I'm also super poor so I don't have myself a laptop.
So in order to game, I play with the highly competent school computers.

I want to run the Seven Deadly Sins mod, but since I can't modify the C drive, so I installed Sins straight onto a flash drive that I carry around with me, my E: drive. The mod is also hard copied into this flash drive exclusively. Is there a way I can implement the mod, without having to mess around with my school's network?

Well that depends, what mod path does it give you when you hit the "show mod path" button in the mod path? The mod has to go to that folder, where ever it is.

Alright, It's located in the Users section like most mod paths , is there a way I can move it exclusively to my flash drive, or am I just stuck with keeping the mod in the C: drive?

unless you can install a link path to the  ironclad games folder(which you then have on the flash drive and have the link do  a complete substitution of all lower folders and files) in the computer,

then the only option IS on 'C' drive.

to the best of my very limited knowledge the location is hardcoded through the %appdata% variable in windows, and altering the %appdata% would FORCE all of windows and the applications installed to ALSO go to the flash drive.

thanks guys for fielding the post so well.  I don't even know how to do the flashdrive install thing.  Ninja, if you have other questions about the mod, downloading Betas, and feedback, register as a member and register on forums.
