Describe the bug
This pertains to Stardew Valley. The "sync mod configurations" feature is restoring a certain file to the wrong location, causing the game to not load.

To Reproduce

  1. Create a mod profile for Stardew Valley in Vortex and install SMAPI.
  2. Run the game to generate config files. Note that a config.json file is created in the "smapi-internal" folder in the game directory. (On my machine the full path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stardew Valley\smapi-internal. May differ based on install location.)
  3. Click on "sync mod configurations". The "Stardew Valley Mod Configuration" mod is created and added to the mod list.
  4. Deploy the mods.
  5. Check the smapi-internal folder again. The config.json file is now missing. Vortex has moved it to a new folder, "Mods\smapi-internal" in the game directory.
  6. Run the game. SMAPI will immediately exit with an error message about the missing config file.

Expected Behavior
When syncing config files, Vortex should restore all files to the folder where they were originally located.
