Install on External Hard Drive?
« on: 2017-02-06 05:50:46 »
Hey all

I'm wondering if I can install my Steam ver and 7th Heaven on my External HD F: , instead of my Local Disk C: ?

When you install a game on Steam, you have the option to choose install location. You'll have to create a second library on your F drive. This should help you out.

7thHeaven doesn't especially care where the game is installed, so if you can do this, you're good to go.

The only thing to be careful of is that if it's an external drive, you're going to want to make sure it always gets assigned the same letter. If you unplug it, plug in an SD reader or something, and then plug this in after, you could find it becomes G:. I don't know how that'll affect 7thHeaven, but that's a risk for installing any applications to external drives; I think it'll confuse Steam at the very least.
