Question Does anyone know how to make VaM find saves, addons, and such outside of it's main folder?

I'm trying to save space on my SSD by putting my Addons, Scenes, Cache, Saves, and Custom folders on a HDD while VaM itself stays on the SSD. But when I open VaM, there is seemingly no way for VaM to looks for saves outside of it's main folder.

What I am asking is, Is there any way to make VaM search for files anywhere on the computer, outside of it's own folder? I don't want to simply put the addon packages on my SSD where VaM is, that is too much space it'll take up.

I tried cheating it by making shortcuts of the addon packages folder and putting them in the VaM folder but that didn't work.

Thanks in advance.
 
A shortcut doesn't work, you need real symbolic links.Google the diferences and creating them.

Thanks, I was able to create junction symlinks via a 3rd party program and the scenes appeared in-game.
But now I have a new problem, most-if not all of scripts and plugins in the scenes are not working, breaking those scenes.
I can load the scenes, all of the models and their textures appear, but in the plugins tab, they show all of the plugins as red, and reloading them doesn't work; I don't know what to do.

A symbolic link would pretend to be the same folder and there should be no differences in VAM. I don't know what the program you mention does, so I guess the problem is there?
