    I followed the guide on the plutonium docs website, titled: "How to move your mods folder to another drive"

    I have gone thru the process of moving all of the mods to another folder on my Q: drive (idk why I assigned it to that letter) instead of my C : drive

    I have gotten to the part where it wants me to open the CMD and type, essentially, for me, it would be mklink /J "%localappdata%\Plutonium\storage\t4\mods" "Q:\Plutonium\T4\mods" If I'm not mistaken

    When I hit enter it shows an error message in the CMD: "Cannot create a file when that file already exists"

    I'm kind of a noob to this but I'm certain that I have not already entered this command before, and none of the mods show up when I start the game so I'm not really sure where to go. Maybe someone on here is a bigger computer wizard than myself XD.

    Cheers,

    Kip.

      KipKKat delete the "mods" folder in %localappdata%/Plutonium/storage/t4 then try again.
