On my laptop, I downloaded a few steam games onto an external hard drive and playing them worked just fine as long as the drive was plugged in. I just got a new computer and when I plug in the hard drive, I can't figure out how to make steam see those games as already downloaded. I already lost progress on one of my games because I re-downloaded it on accident instead of recovering it (that game specifically, Shelter 2, doesn't have cloud saves). The tutorials on how to fix this issue that I can find are all from four years ago or refer to an old version of Steam. This is what my folder looks like after moving my backups to the same folder as Shelter 2 was in. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it a lot. I'm not very good at this sort of thing.
