Moving location of haks/localvault/other data

So I've noticed that NWN:EE saves all of its custom data such as character files, haks, portraits etc. under the Users folder in C:. Thing is though, I'd prefer NOT for the game to store all my data there as my C: is a SSD and thus much more limited in space. Is there any way I can tell the game to move these appropriate folders elsewhere (preferably to my main gaming HDD which has like terabytes of free space left over).

    In the User>Documents folder is a file called nwn.ini which specifies the path for each file type. So, create a folder wherever you like, with subfolders for each file type, move the existing custom files there, update nwn.ini, and all will be well.

    The .ini files need to remain in Documents, but they're tiny.

    Thanks for the answer! :) Yeah, I'm happy to leave the ini files in there. The main culprits are hakpaks and save games; with each savegame taking up about 20MB or so, and coupled with my habit of making separate savegames before major decisions or boss battles, it's all starting to add up quickly!
