How Can We Help?
If you want to change where the packages that are downloaded from mod.io are stored, you need to enter the path you want to use in a file to tell mod.io where to save the downloaded packages. Here’s how to find the file (globalsettings.json) depending on your platform:
- Windows Open an explorer window and type
%localappdata%in the address bar. Then, go to the mod.io folder. - Mac In the finder menu, click on “Go”, then “Go to Folder…” and enter
~/Library/Application Support/mod.io - Linux In your home directory, go to the mod.io folder
In the file, you will see an entry that looks like this: {"RootLocalStoragePath":"C:/Users/Public/mod.io/"}
Change the path inside the brackets to the folder you want. On Windows, take care that you use / instead of \ to separate the path. For example, you can modify the file to look like this: {"RootLocalStoragePath":"E:/Game Data/mod.io/"} to store your downloaded packages in the folder E:\Game Data\mods\. If the file contains multiple entries, you can delete all except one.
After this change, you can delete your previous mod.io directory at C:/Users/Public/mod.io/ to save space. Please do not move it to the new location, because that may confuse mod.io and cause unwanted behavior.
