When a mod is enabled, games are saved to the EFS/SAV folder instead of the EFS/MOD/MYMOD/SAV folder

Description:

When a mod is enabled in the mod.ini file, the game puts save files in the EFS/SAV folder instead of EFS/MOD/MYMOD/SAV. This includes manual saves and auto saves. This also means that the auto saves from the mod overwrite the vanilla auto saves in the vanilla SAV folder.

Example mod's folder structure:

EFS

DAT GAL SAV MOD

MYMOD

DAT GAL SAV

Expected behavior: When a mod is enabled, save games (including auto saves) go in EFS/MOD/MYMOD/SAV folder.

Actual behavior: When a mod is enabled, save games (including auto saves) go in the EFS/SAV folder.

Game version: 1.5

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create folder structure as detailed above. Put some modded files in there
2. Enable the mod in the mod.ini file
3. Start a game. Ensure auto save is turned on.
4. Save the game. Note that at this point, your save game explorer shows the MYMOD/SAV folder, which would make you think that saves are being saved there, but when you actually save the game, the file goes in the EFS/SAV folder.
5. Load the game you just saved. Note that it's not actually located in MYMOD/SAV, actually it's in EFS/SAV.

Thanks for reporting this one.

It's my hope to start working on this in the near future for V1.51.

I'll post back here if I have any updates...
