The mod location defaults to the C drive.
Which is nice, but my C drive is small and dedicated to the task of being the computer.
So, question is...can I change the directory of the mods to another drive (like, say, D:\Mods\AoE)
 
alternatively just make a folder with all your mods on your D drive and only copy the ones you want to use for your next game in the C drive folder. This is what I do, not because of lacking space but because I find the "mod selection" rather tiresome once you have more than 5 mods in that folder and don't want to use all.
 
My C drive is an SSD, and I...well, I don't know if constant write/read to C:/.../Documents will make it break faster.
So I went with the nuclear option and made a hard-type symbolic link to the entire document folder. Here's to hoping it does what I want. Cheers.
 
Hey, I think it was the way to go with Windows, back to a decade ago, so as to have a smaller system partition that could be reinstalled at no risk. I did it myself, and it still works fine (and also the whole Program Files folder, but it's much more work, and I don't know if it works with modern Windows systems).
