Changing save/skins/graphics folder directory on EPIC GAMES

[Shafko]

Hey, I'm wondering how do I change the directory from where FM20 would load my save, skins etc.

I've seen the guides on how to do it for the STEAM version but haven't seen any for the EPIC GAMES one.

Any help appreciated!

Epic Games Launcher > Setting > Scroll down > Click FOOTBALL MANAGER 2020 > Check Command-Line Arguments(?) > Type --user_data_location="YOUR LOCATION"

Back to Library and launch FM20

Hi can someone help me with this? I wanted to load the megapack skin on my d drive (where the epic game is saved) but it keeps defaulting the user data to the c drive (where I don't have space for the megapack skin). I tried moving the epic games launcher data as per Kodiak suggests above, but it keeps saving the user game files back on the C drive and is not uploading skins. 

in the epic games launcher check command line I've put 

--user_data_location=D:\tarek\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\

 

what am I doing wrong please?

You have to type like this

 

--user_data_location="D:\tarek\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\"

Thank you for that Kodiak. Still can't seem to get it working somehow. It still loads from the C drive documents folder. When I delete that sports interactive folder it won't start. When I verify files again, it recreates the file back in the C folder?

Any thoughts at all you might have on what is still going wrong would be very much appreciated!

 

Thanks

I managed to add graphics folder to epic games version of Fm20 to get kits logos facepacks and trophies etc in the game. I made the 'graphics' folder with the various sub folders of kits logo faces etc and saved them in Epic Games/Football Manager/data/game/graphics  Then went into my save game and loaded up. Then did the preferences/ interface/ clear cache and tick the changes skins box (Like u do a steam version). And it worked a treat. Hope this helps
