Jpastore Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 With all the facepacks etc my SSD is starting to fill up, is there any way I can move the sports interactive folder that contains the facepacks etc to my other hard drive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yes from the preferences menu on the right hand side will be an option called saving location, change that location to your preferred location off your C drive, exit the game, move your files over and restart the game and it will use the new location you have set.

Jpastore Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Is that not just to move where my games are saved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Nope, that points to the location for all saved user items in the game including the graphics folder, tactics and games folders etc.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 When I install FM on my PC (laptop actually) it always loads up 2 sets of Sports Interactive folders in my C:/documents folder. Some saved files go into one folder/subfolders and some in the other. It also clogs up my hard drive with extra unnecessary files. Why does this happen and how can i prevent it?

michaeltmurrayuk Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 They are two seperate locations, one is the SI folder located in the Documents folder for your Windows User Account, the other is located in the Public User account for Windows, the only files that are normally saved in this location are the hall of fame files. (Public documents folder is used because that folder can be accessed by all Windows user accounts on the computer, whilst your documents folder can only be accessed by you). If you are seeing both locations that means you are in library view in Windows and by default it shows both your users document folder and the public documents folder you can remove the public documents from your library by customizing which folders are shown in the documents library (should be a manage library option in the windows menu, though exact location depends on which version of windows you are using).

phnompenhandy Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Great, I'll try to remember all that. I keep putting extra graphic files in the wrong places then doubling up and ending up with gigabytes of duplicate files! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Penfold Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It is also possible to move the documents folder in Windows (and the music, video etc). How you do this depends on which version of Windows you are running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit annoyed when I installed on a new laptop and had lost my place in the Hall of Fame! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
