Hi, I was just wondering if there is any way to save where a file is saved after it is downloaded from Steam. I want to change it to my other hard drive, but cant find a way.

You can run a steam backup from it.

Copy the entire Steam folder to your new drive then reinstall it and point it at the new folder location. It will be reinstalled with all your games intact.

program files/steam/steam apps then select either common or your profile name to find the game files. although if you can't even find the files by yourself then I doubt you will be able to do much modding lol
