I have a small ssd (c:) so I installed my Steam client on my hdd (d:). But there is a game I wanted to be on my ssd (c:), here are the steps to do it:
- Close Steam
- Move the game to the new location
e.g.: from “d:Steamsteamappscommonfallout new vegas” to “c:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonfallout new vegas” - Open a command prompt
go in –> “Start Menu” –> “Run..” –> type “cmd” - Create a Windows symlink
type: mklink /J “d:Steamsteamappscommonfallout new vegas” “c:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonfallout new vegas”
output: Junction created for d:Steamsteamappscommonfallout new vegas <==> c:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonfallout new vegas
Now start your Steam client and the game will run from its new location.
NOTE: Dead Money DLC didn’t install while using a symlink, I had to move the game back in its original location to download and install the DLC.
