Leaving my guide up for posterity sake, but user Réyole has a better planned out guide, whereas mine was put out as a quit and easy fix. Thanks for rating my guide while you were here, but show some love to the homie too

By default, Arma Reforger downloads mods to your Documents folder on your C: drive, following this path: Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons

I have a small C drive, only 120 gigs, and most of it is taken up by important programs. I sought a fix, but found that just like every other thing on the internet the only people explaining how to do something leave out key details that one can only know by having the 'tism, so I wrote this short guide to help you out.

1. Create a folder called addons on your perferred drive. for this guide, I've done so on the D drive.
2. Right Click Arma Reforger
3. Properties
4. Under "Launch Options" add the following

-addonDownloadDir D:\addons -addonsDir D:\addons

Thats literally it. If you already have those files on your C: drive, all you have to do to avoid redownloading is copy the files to the new addon folder you made in step one, then clear that folder out on your C: drive

God I love having to figure out how to customise the launch parameters on full retail games because the devs can't be bothered to implement even the most low effort quality of life features on PC.
Forgetting to add an option to change your mod install directory(conveniently) has gotta be up there with capping the FPS to 30, and forgetting to add FOV adjusters to the settings in terms of how hard console ports unintentionally screw over PC players.

Yeah man I totally have fifty billion gigs free on my C drive, in fact don't even bother telling me the mods install there, I can figure it out on my own... It's not like the C drive is used for anything important anyway, right?

Yea just use \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ guide, its more refined and overall cleaner than my method, mind was quick and dirty cause i was pissed off. IDK why I didn't just reach out to the guy I know that works at bohemia he could've helped me clean it up lmfao this is way easier
