Information.
Many people need to free up disk space on there primary hard disk. World at War can be installed on a different drive, but the custom map data will always be stored on c:/users/xxxx/AppData/Local/Activision/CoDWaW/mods. For a work around we can use Link Shell Extension.
STEP
STEP 1 Download & Install
May be optional depending if you have them previously installed.
- Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (x64)
- Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (x86)
This is the Link Shell extension, needed to move your mods folder.
STEP
STEP 2 Move Your Mods Folder
STEP
STEP 3 Delete Old Mods Folder
STEP
STEP 4 Pick Link Source
STEP
STEP 5 Drop As -> Symbolic Link
STEP
STEP 6 Verify
After you do this a folder should appear in c:/users/(your username)/AppData/Local/Activision/CoDWaW/ called mods which will look like a shortcut.
Finished, now all your mods/maps will automatically be saved to your new drive, freeing up your precious C drive space.
