Moved game files to another ssd

One of my ssd was getting full so i moved Satisfactory to another ssd to clear some space but now the mod manager isn't able to install any mods anymore.

Solution:
SMM queries the APIs of the EPIC and Steam game store apps to determine where your game is. If you moved its location after installation manually, your installer client will not know where it is. You will need to reinstall your game through your store client so that it is in a known location. This will not affect your saves.

Did you use steam to move? Or did you drag it

You should be able to reselect steam in SMM
