Moving Download and Installation Files Folder Elsewhere Does Not Work

TrustyAsianGuy

Before this, I had only install DAZ and all it's Install Manager downlaods onto the default folder it saves (Which was my SSD) and had no issues. But then I had no more space left with more models and such donwloaded into DAZ. So I moved them to my HDD, but all it did was have every file missing. I uninstalled both the Install Manager and DAZ Studio and reinstalled them, making sure in the Install Manager settings that I had changed the default download and install folders into my HDD. It kind of worked, but only the figures, props, hair, and clothing insatlled successfully. All other scripts and shaders all always missing. Is there a way to have it installed normally as it did when they were downloaded and installed in their default folders?

Have you set the content directories in DS to match DIM? There is a script to do that if not, download it and drag it into an open DS viewport.

Ok, acutally it didn't work. I've downloaded the script and changed my folders to my new ones, but it still coulndn't find my models. I've now cleaned my computer of all DS and related stuff so as to have a clean install. Though what shoudl I do? Changing the default donwload and install destination to a new folder I create renders it unable to find the location of said files.
