Is there a way to change the location of your plugins folder?

Is there any possible way you can have Sim City look in a different location for your plugins folder instead of My Documents\Sim City 4000\Plugins ??

Wait what do you mean by look?

I believe its well coded that the game look in only a folder in that particular location named "Plugins". Why would you need it elswhere?

C:\ is crowded up and I have a better place to put it yet I do not want to move the entire program into a different drive simply for the fact that I want to keep my programs on one drive and data on another drive...

ohhhhh i totally get what you mean to do. technically i would bet there is a way to set it to do that, but more possibly easier if you did put the program onto that other drive also. Or do what I did, buy an SC4 machine.

You can set the plugins folder in the Sim City 4.ini file. However, it seems difficult to change the drive letter... but it is a simple matter of trying . Dont forget to make a backup of the Sim City 4.ini file before you edit it

You can move it easily but ONLY by moving the "MY DOCUMENTS" folder. You can put it on any drive you like, but the whole thing has to go. Open a folder with MY DOCUMENTS folder showing. Right click it.. select "properties" then select "MOVE" and then select the location where you want it to be. From that point on, all your MY DOCS stuff will be put there and that is where windows will look for it. The MY DOC's location is an environment variable and you can make it what you like.

Depending on how much you use the "my doc's" folder, this can offload a LOT of stuff from the C drive. Mine is about 8 gigabytes.. if yours is similar its like getting a small added drive..
