If you want to move the entire game then the best way most likely is to uninstall it and then install it again, telling the installer where to install the game.

Alternatively you can just move the mods folder to save some space on the SSD: viewtopic.php?f=896&t=104932

ok so i just had a look at my files and because i bought the game through steam the game files are located on my harddrive but my saves are located on my ssd. is there a way to move the fs17 folder that lies within the folder my games which is located on my ssd to my harddrive without having to reinstall the whole game

You can not move the FarmingSimulator2017 folder as far as I know. But you can move the entire „My Documents“ folder: http://www.dummies.com/computers/operat ... indows-10/
