Disable symlinks again #12

Closed Pickysaurus closed 1 year ago

Symlinks don't work with certain animation mods and actually cause errors in-game.

Example mods

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/2489 - Breaks the animation entirely causing softlocks
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/2645 - Breaks the animation entirely causing softlocks
https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/2815 - Breaks the animation entirely causing softlocks

New evidence has shown us that symlinks do work for some files but not others so unfortunately, for a consistent experience, we need to disable symlinks... again. This does however match the pattern of older Bethesda games which for a while looked like we could avoid.
