Once you've done this, you can either reinstall System Shock 2 into this new folder and move any save files and mods you have from your old installation into this new installation, OR you can have Steam move everything over for you by going to the game's Properties, and in the "Installed Files" section, choose Move install folder. Here is where I keep my games when I'm gaming on Windows. Click Steam in the top left > Settings and Click 'Storage'.Ĭlick the + Icon, and make a new SteamLibrary folder anywhere you want. If this is the case, you can make another Steam Library Folder using the Storage feature. If mods are installed correctly, they may start working for you. If you think you might be being affected by this, try moving your copy of Shock 2 from the Program Files folder into another folder like 'C:\Games' and launch it. This varies from machine to machine and some people may not have a problem at all. The long story short is that if you have your copy of System Shock 2 located within either the Program Files or the Program Files (x86) folder, you may encounter problems and some, or all, mods may not work at all. On Windows, the "Program Files" folder is a protected folder that works differently from other folders on your computer. Add-on Repairman, Scary Monsters and a few other mods and you're fine at that point.Let's start off with some important information. If you're looking to try the game mostly vanilla, but want to try out a different build or just generally have the same sort of experience as vanilla, but better, then I recommend SCP, as well as RSD (beta 12 hotfix version), the latter especially if you plan on playing an unusual build like Exotic, since most of the niche gameplay elements and builds (like Exotic) are terrible in vanilla, and the mod aims to balance them while (conservatively) adding new features (weapon and armour modifications, etc). If you're looking for a brutally hard experience to test yourself, and a lot of extra feature bloat, a lot of which is good, some of which is very bad, check out Secmod. I generally recommend the following gameplay mods: This is a good list, sans Rebirth since it's not exactly authentic. Toothbrush hybrid! but seriously, SCP + Fixed Objects + SHTUP would be a good (conservative) start.
