Is there a way i can get 2 copies of the game so that i can use 1 for speedrunning and the other one for modded?
#Second copy of Celeste files

everest already makes a copy of vanilla when being installed
unless you want two modded copies for some reason
timber ledge
Well it's cuz the second and third save file i have i need to keep them, and the first one's my first playthrough where i have almost everything completed. It just takes all the savefiles and puts them on both versions, and if i delete one of the savefiles on vanilla, it deletes it on modded too
jolly saffron
that is because you told everest to link your everest copy to vanilla

As of the Everest Core update, Everest tries to create symlinks in order to share these two folders between the vanilla and modded installs of the game:
Saves, to sync save data between vanilla and moddedContent, to avoid making a duplicate of all the game assets and save about 1 GB of storage space
However, creating a symlink requires admin privileges on Windows. Installing Everest will still work if you choose not to give admin privileges, but you won't get the benefits listed above.
Creating the symlink can also fail on external drives that use non-NTFS filesystems (such as some flash drives). Installing Everest 4482 or later will still work on these filesystems, but data will not be shared between vanilla and modded. If this is an issue, moving your Celeste install to the C drive should fix it.

Oh.
jolly saffron
this does not mean that everest will affect your vanilla copy
all that is done is that the content and saves folders are the same folders
timber ledge
Is there a way to change that?
jolly saffron
is there a specific reason why you want to do that, touching the files in everest does not break them when you load them in vanilla
unless you want modded saves to not show up in vanilla at all
timber ledge
Well it's cuz they're linked, when i delete a savefile in Vanilla it deletes it in Modded too
timber ledge
unless you want modded saves to not show up in vanilla at all
Yeah
jolly saffron
yeah because they're the same folder
okay
you'll need to verify game files, delete the orig folder and reinstall everest
then when given the prompt to link vanilla and everest, click no
timber ledge
Alright, is that gonna delete my modded savefiles though?
timber ledge
Okay, thanks a lot
jolly saffron
there's a link to a wiki page about them in the command i sent
jolly saffron
olympus tells steam to verify them
but i advise to just do it via steam
there's no practical difference but yeah
timber ledge
Alright gotchu
It tells me that there needs to be an orig file
Do i just create it again?
jolly saffron
click attempt installation anyway
jolly saffron
check the wiki in the pinned post for the solution
timber ledge
Oh okay
It didn't ask me the choice to link between vanilla and everest
It just downloaded it
timber ledge
you deleted `orig`, right?
Yeah i did
timber ledge
do you have multiple celeste installs
No there's just that one called Celeste
At least that's what it shows
timber ledge
Should i redo the process? Maybe it'll ask me this time
jolly saffron
does orig exist now
timber ledge
Yeah it did
jolly saffron
what if you verify game files and delete it now
then try reinstalling everest again
timber ledge
Ohhh nvm is that the message?
jolly saffron
and this is what you want, right
timber ledge
Yesyes
timber ledge
Alralr
Hum
Now my Vanilla files are gone
My modded ones are still there, including my vanilla ones IN Everest, but when i run the Vanilla version, everything's gone
Are there things i can transfer from Everest to Celeste?
Such as Save files?
jolly saffron
yeah
just copy over n.celeste from the Saves to orig/Saves
where n is a number between 0-2
0 is the first slot, 1 is the second slot, 2 is the third slot
timber ledge
Nice okay thank god
