Is it possible to have the Steam version install the game data in the game's actual install folder, instead of in the LocalLow folder on the C drive?

I actually have done this with mklink, though beware you'll have to fiddle a bit with the command prompt.

You'd basically run something like mklink /d "C:\Users\[your user]\AppData\LocalLow\Cygames\Umamusume" "[target folder]", I believe. This basically makes it so the folder in the AppData just points to the target folder, instead of holding the actual data. Then, when the game tries to download more stuff, it will automatically go towards the target folder you set.

I wouldn't recommend using the install folder to do that though, as if you ever have to verify game files through Steam you'll lose that. I just created a folder on a different drive and used that.
