Origin games more than one drive?

Steam lets you have more than one install location, but Origin only allows one

What you guys do to get around this?

I getting a new SSD tomorrow 250GB but I dont want all my games on the SSD just some.
Now with Steam its very easy to pick and choose what games I want on there, but what about Origin?

Thanks

Steam mover. Works for Origin just as well as steam (because it's just a symbolic link).

Just change Install Directory in settings>advanced before installing the title you want there. Change it to another directory and install another title.....etc etc.

Will no affect anything currently installed. I do this and have BF3 on my SSD and any other game on my HDDs

Origin>Application settings>Advanced>Downloaded Games (top one, just change to whatever drive you want)

Sin_chase has the main way (outside of steam mover), doesn't affect previously installed games. Hope this is included in Origin in a future patch...

O thanks, so say I keep BF3/fifa13 on my Hard drive and install my new SSD. Say BF4 is released I just go into setting and change the location to C: and it will download to there.

Origin will still read from other drives, if that so I can live with that

Thanks
