MCPrep can't find the default directory the effects folder blend file, possibly due to using symlink.

Normal reinstall through the zip file works normally, so the error in prior release is resolved.
I think the cause of my issue is because of me using symbolic link to link MCPrep and run it in many version of Blender and the auto update don't like it, try to find the default directory to update and fail. I have to change out the effect directory for it to stop continue throw traceback.
Let me know @zNightlord if symbolic links still pose an issue, as it should not be a problem (and if it is, it should be fixed in MCprep)
