Hi, I was directed to come here to ask for some help with ME3Tweaks seemingly not being successful for me when it tries to run different merge functions. I was talking with a mod author and she believed that my trouble is with ME3Tweaks. Here is my log. https://me3tweaks.com/modmanager/logservice/logviewer?logid=738f1c10bfb8638d5490d6581c25ceca
This is my first time really messing with Mass Effect modding so I apologize in advance if I didn't give the right information.

Judging from the error it's jumping to it has trouble accessing the path consistently.
Is H: an external hard drive?
celest iron
No its my HDD that stores the games and mods
ME3Tweaks in also installed on that drive if that helps
tacit locust
Hm. Well, still, it has trouble. My instinct would be to run chkdsk h: in a command line terminal just to see if any errors come up for that drive first.
celest iron
Okay I'll run it
Its saying that it found no problems and no further action is required.
tacit locust
well, that's good, but I'm also effectively out of ideas, lol. Someone else might have more ideas, tho'.
celest iron
All right, thanks for trying. I also have no ideas why its not working.
tacit locust
for whatever it is worth, any System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException kind of error would almost assuredly not be on the program side of things.
celest iron
ah okay. I wonder if a fresh install would help or if its just a problem hiding in my PC somewhere
tacit locust
Could just try the reinstall first
celest iron
Okay I tried to reinstall and it still has the same issue. Here is the new log https://me3tweaks.com/modmanager/logservice/logviewer?logid=cc228f931ad1c39b147e1f781c45882f
Looking closer at the file paths I dont know why it is searching "H:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Mass Effect ...." when steam library is at "H:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps ..." is there a way to change where its looking at?
tacit locust
Can you screenshoot the "Targets" drop-down in the manager?
tacit locust
Yeah
… weird. Hm. Might actually need to ping the head honcho for this, this seems bizarre.
@thick summit sorry in advance; tldr, M3 is targeting a folder for Squadmate merge on LE2 that is not in existence and does not, in fact, match the actual target folder in the settings
thick summit
I would make sure that old directory path is fully gone
If there are remnants it may still be detecting it as a game path.
Make sure to nuke the entire old folder. It looks like it was moved
celest iron
I can not find the old directory path. As far as I can tell its gone. Do you mean the old folder that M3 was installed in?
tacit locust
The one it's trying to install to falsely
celest iron
All right. I have deleted any files I could find that seemed like they could be related to it but it still has the same result. Is there a way to uninstall M3 so that it would act like a fresh first time install and I can point it on where to go?

C:\ProgramData\ME3TweaksModManager
If there's two installations of the game from Steam, that means, at some point, the game was moved. I don't believe Steam adds locations outside of Program Files automatically (at least it hasn't happened to be yet).
The Mod Manager usually auto-detects installations so, if it still shows both paths then you didn't remove the extra game entirely.
