Moving the Mods folder

Is there a way to move where the Mods and Screenshots folder is for Megaquarium?

It's currently at C>Users>My Documents>My Games>Megaquarium, but I would prefer it to be on a different place on my D disk. (All my Steam games data is on my D disk, it's just the Mods folder that's on C)

So is it possible to move it and redirect it somehow? I've looked for it via Steam properties, but I've had no luck.

Hi, funny you ask, I recently added a hack which will allow you to do this. I added it to help another player whose operating system was returning the wrong folder:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/600480/discussions/0/4227150602815925908/

In the example in that thread I use it to point at the user's My Games folder but it can be used to point to any folder, including on different drives.

The game will automatically add "Megaquarium\Saves" etc. to whatever custom path you enter.

Please do pay attention to the warnings contained within that post. This should definitely be considered a "hack" because it allows you to enter a custom file path. I've tried to make it as safe as possible, but theoretically it might be possible to enter a path which causes problems e.g. if you go writing all over your "Windows\System32\" folder or something.

Use with caution!
