SML thinks i'm in an older version of Satisfactory

Hello I recently moved satisfactory from my hdd to my ssd. When I tried loading into satisfactory with mods it gives this error: Because Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML) ">=3.9.0" depends on Satisfactory (FactoryGame) ">=383729" and Satisfactory CL176027 is installed, Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML) ">=3.9.0" is forbidden. So, because installing Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML) "3.10.0", version solving failed. However, when I remove all mods satisfactory does load just fine, saying its current build is #385279, which could be an issue, but is definitely not CL176027. I've tried uninstalling all mods and SMM and reinstalling it again, but nothing seems to work.

How did you move it? Through EGS/Steam's method or good ol' copy/pasta?

Copy/pasta since EGS from what i'm aware still doesn't give option to just move file to another drive

Sorry, should have warned ya to ping me, as I was working on my mod and about to pass out. I get tunnel-vision easily. The problem is that SMM reads EGS, in your case, for where the files are. Since you did a copy/pasta, SMM ask EGS, EGS gives the old location, and then SMM thinks nothing is there. Yeah, EGS ain't the greatest on features (no, I am not a Steam purist, Steam has its problems that I am not happy about either). You're likely going ot have to re-install. You might, however, be able to get it to start installing, pause it, copy in the files, and either resume or have it verify, thus making you not have to re-download it.
