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:\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas” to “c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas” - Open a command prompt
go in –> “Start Menu” –> “Run..” –> type “cmd” - Create a Windows symlink
type: mklink /J “d:\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas” “c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas”
output: Junction created for d:\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas <==> c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout 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.
