It's possible to change save files and mods path by modifying paths.xml.
paths.xml is created when game is launched if it does not exist already. Paths are generated from environment variables when the file is created, but are saved as absolute paths in the file, and thus will not follow environment variables anymore.
Some DRM-free versions use a different default path
