Where Does WeMod Install and Store Data?
WeMod installs to LocalAppData and must stay on the system drive. Install path, update behavior, and clean removal.
Last updated
WeMod is a Squirrel-installed app, which means it lives entirely in your user's LocalAppData\WeMod in versioned app folders plus packages and temp files. There is no Program Files copy and no per-machine install; updates download beside the current version and flip over silently.
The hardcoded path is also the app's most argued trait. WeMod must stay on the system drive under your user profile because trainers resolve those exact paths, and moved installs snap back on update. That design also makes troubleshooting simple: deleting the WeMod folder with the app closed is the supported clean slate. WeMod is Windows-only.
Where WeMod stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\WeMod
Versioned app folders, downloaded trainer packages and Squirrel temp files all live here. Must stay on the system drive; moved installs return on update. Clean reinstall is deleting this folder plus Squirrel temp, then reinstalling. Favorites and history are account-side and survive.
Frequently asked questions
can i install wemod on another drive
You cannot, not durably. WeMod hardcodes paths under your user's LocalAppData and returns there on every update even if files are moved. WeMod staff confirm the main-drive requirement comes from how trainers attach to games. Free space elsewhere does not help; the app needs room on C:.
how do i clean reinstall wemod
Close WeMod, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\WeMod, clear the Squirrel temp files, and reinstall from a fresh download. WeMod's own support gives this exact sequence for broken installs. Saved favorites and history are account-side and return on login; only the local install state resets.
where is the wemod exe for shortcuts
The exe lives in a versioned app folder inside %LOCALAPPDATA%\WeMod, not in Start Menu programs. Open that folder to pin a shortcut to the taskbar or desktop. The Squirrel-based install deliberately avoids Program Files so updates never need admin rights.
