Hi

I know this doesn't necessarily fall in to the category of an "Issue", but I'm wanting your help please. I'm new to GitHub so I'm not sure if submitting request for help works via "Issues" or not or if there is an alternative way of contacting you for help, but this is all I could find. Sorry if it's not the correct way to use GitHub and it's "Issue".

I've watched your video. Thank you for making it. Before I try to install Mod Builder, I'm wanting to check with you that it will work with thcotw running on an external ssd.

So my path SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\theHunterCotW is on an external ssd.

Will Mod Builder detect this? If not, can I change anything to fix this? Should I install Mod Builder on the ssd, for example? In your video you say it will detect the path or something is wrong. Is there an option so I can simply change the path in Mod Builder? Your video seem to imply this isn't an option.

Do I need to move thcotw to my internal drive to get Mod Builder to work? I would prefer not to, but if necessary I would consider doing it. Would simply using the Steam option of "Move install folder" to "Move this game's content to another folder or drive" move everything from the external ssd to my internal drive?

I'm not confident / competent enough to just give it a try and see what happens, so your assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I mustn't be the only person running the game on an external ssd, so hopefully others might benefit from the advice too.
