It's hard coded to "%localappdata%\MX Simulator". The only way to change it would be with a link. Look up mklink if you really want it somewhere else.

Why don't you make a shortcut... would be much easier.

He means that he want it on Drive D:\ instead of drive C:\, for example.

would make literally no difference tho tbh would be a waste of time surely.

I may very well have misunderstood what you meant with yours, so apologies if I did. But a shortcut just "creates a file" that tells you the location of another file. What you would need to do is to create a more deep going system link that redirects everything in location A to location B. So if you search for 'MX' in location A, it'll be Search for 'MX' in 'A', but what will happen is 'MX' in 'A'->'B' because it redirects it. That is not possible for the game to access via a shortcut.

So how could I do that ? :/ I'm not a good encoder on windows ^^

As I wait for the invention of drives with infinite storage space, it's nice to be able to decide where I put things.

Like I said, you have to use "mklink". If you just need to save space on your C drive, I'd recommend installing the game on the other drive and putting your files in the install folder. The only reason to put something in the personal folder is if you want the game to be able to write to it, usually a track you're editing with the in-game editor. Otherwise, put it in the install folder.
