How do I change the mods folder path?

from Sins Forums

 

I have a problem I hope some one can help me out. I am trying to play one of the many mods I downloaded for SoSW. My problem is that the path for the default install I do not have.

 

My path for many games is: C:\Documents and Settings\danny\My Documents\My Games. My other stardock games are in this path as well.

 

SoSW is asking for: C:\Documents and settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods

I just reinstalled the game and it did not place the SoSW folder in any folder in my documents.

 

So how do I either change the path it looks to find mods or install the game to create the path it wants?

The path C:\Documents and settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods should be present (settings get saved in that location as well), you only need to replace the "username" part with your actual username, "danny", to find it.

I was not trying to enter my documents from the C drive. Also my path is still a little off, but I found it.

C:\Documents and Settings\danny\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods

I do not have the Local Settings folder...How do I just change the path to reflect that in the game?

You do have one (it's a critical Windows folder), but it is hidden by Windows by default. To unhide it, go to Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View and set yourself to view hidden files and folders.
