Option to choose a custom save location

[JohnKazz]

What should happen

Would be great to have the ability to change the save path for the latest version of the game, we could set the path to the game folder making it portable and thus incredibly helpful if you have different versions of the game installed and each version has different mods that would otherwise conflict with one another and may cause a corrupted save file. I know for sure in version 1.0.4.0 it was doable with xliveless and later in 1.0.7.0 and 1.0.8.0 it's possible with zolika patch, there was an option to choose a custom save path, would be awesome for you guys to make this possible in the Complete Edition as well. Thank you in advance.

That's already possible, go to the fusion fix INI in the plugins folder and scroll down to this line
[USERPROFILE] CustomUserProfilePath =

And you can set a path there.

Yes, thanks for the reply, I found out after writing the message, although it's still not changing the actual save game files, it can only change the path to Settings and User Music, the game still uses the saves located in the default location. Unless I'm missing something?

This option breaks added custom music. The userfile.dat and usertracks.dat files have a size of 0. And the game plays radio instead of custom music. This is tested in version 1.2.0.59.

I have also tested on my end version 1.2.0.59 and I can play music from the new path folder, maybe try to rename your .mp3 files into shorter names and make sure they are not large file sizes. In game also go into options and do a proper complete scan and change the radio to be sequential, for me it worked. Wish we could move the actual save files to that new path though.

To load the game saves from your original saves, delete XLiveless as I’m pretty sure having that doesn’t make a difference unless you play online, it just loads the saves from a separate location to trick the game into not launching multiplayer or something like that.

Or your other option is to keep it and just cut and paste all the saves from your original into Documents>Rockstar Games>GTA IV>savegames and just load from there. (Just remember to allow that specific GTA launch into controlled folder access so it can access the folder)

I do not use XLiveless, it doesn't work on the latest version of the game 1.2.0.59 as far as I am aware, and from my brief testing it did not work at all. I don't necessarily care about my original save files, I actually want to start new ones and place them in the main game folder thus making the game portable and like I mentioned in my original post, it would be incredibly helpful and easy if you have multiple game versions with different mods installed. I read somewhere that Goldberg (RGSC) emulator has an option to do that for the Complete Edition but only for the 1.2.0.43 version which means it doesn't work for the latest version.

Understood yeah I’m not exactly sure then
