Hello hello, I'm one of those guys who keeps every mod on one of my drives since I refuse to pay for premium (and you know, I might need that mod i downloaded years ago, y'know?)

Now because of this, every time I install a list I have to specifically set where I want the list to install to, and where to download the mod files to. And because of the way windows explorer works, I have to manually navigate each time to the place. (Yes I could use the built in shortcut system. I don't want to - it'd get cluttered!)

What I instead propose is this:

(Graphic design is my passion)

A little box in settings (top right) that allows you to add a game for sorting, and the folder it should go to. (And obviously, what folder modlists should look for mods from)

Since mods on the nexus are already sorted by url with the game they're for, automatic sorting each will probably be easy to implement. Probably. (I mean I think vortex does something similar?). For non nexus platforms, have it be based on the game list thats being installed. (A loverslab mod being installed in a skyrim SE list should go to the skyrim se folder, fallout goes to the fallout folder).

Personally, i'd make this an "opt in" feature you need to manually enable - the current system is perfectly fine for the standard user, but cool power users (like me!) will worship the ground you walk upon if you add it!
