    This tutorial is a godsend, not many tutorials are so easy to follow or to the point, especially for modding stuff. They either go on pointless long winded tangents or they blow through everything too quickly, you manage to keep a fast pace and while actually explaining the things.
    I actually think I watched this video last time I thought about switching back to MO2 but I must have been sleep deprived or something because I remember not really liking it. Past me was, suffice to say, and idiot

    I really appreciate the attention to detail and the tone this tutorial. I needed a refresher to install MO2 on my new pc and as someone who has to regularly explain computer and internet concepts to people 50 and older, I do want to commend your ability to explain decently complicated or intimidating processes in a straightforward way without being condescending to anyone who might not know what they're doing yet
    Also, your voice is dope and it was a pleasure to listen to while I worked

    Thanks for the guide, should've watched this one instead 2 months ago. In the video I watched he said to name the MO2 install folder after the game, so my folder was messed up, with install directory and instance in the same place. It was fine until I made a new instance and couldn't use BethINI or mods. The way you pathed MO2 is way more organized than other videos I've watched.

    Awesome job. One thing I do differently is to install Mod organizer on my slower storage drive to save space on my faster drive where I play and store my games and then in Mod organizer 2 under Settings - paths, point Mods and Overwrite to a directory on my drive that has my games. Those are the files your games will use while all the other files and downloads that the game isn't using sits on your slower storage drive saving you space.

    1] no profile found in c;\users\username/appdata/local/// etc..
    2) the game is in documents: this may cause issues because it is a special system folder (Skyrim is in the steamapps folder)
    3) Mod Organiser is in Documents;; same warning..
    4) the instance base directory is in documents.....
    how do I correct this?

      You can always transfer mods from NMM to Mod Organizer 2 if you want to save some time, but if you’re already having issues with the install… I’d suggest starting from scratch with MO2. Be sure to delete the mods through NMM and wipe your game folder clean when doing a fresh install, otherwise there will be mod files left over.

      Mods don’t deploy with Mod Organizer 2. It’s all a virtual file system. It never touches your base game folders. You install BodySlide through MO2. Once it’s enabled, go to the files tab on the right panel of MO2 and find the Tools for BodySlide. Right click the executable for it and it will give you an option to add it as a launch option in Mod Organizer 2. If you need me to make a video on it, just let me know.

    Alright here is my question because I see it says the same thing on yours. And I had to do a fresh install just to correct the pathing because I had my game and stuff installed on my D drive, had the pathing for mods on C drive, I had gone through and got about 50GB of mods, I closed my MO2, reopened, and it had scrapped all of my load order changes and acted like it was the first time I opened it. So I reinstalled, everything as you go over on my D drive, made the folders ect, And then I see that god damn "Data path: C/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/ModOrganizer/Fallout 4" and sure enough it even created the new subfolder in my C drive and all that.
