Re: Move sims 4 game from C drive to D drive issues

@izabellazz  Why are the folder names backwards in your commands?  If the folder names on D are NOT backwards, that would be the problem.

Having said that, please make a symbolic link for the entire Sims 4 folder rather than the subfolders.  It's simpler to troubleshoot and cuts down on the potential for error.  So the command (after moving or renaming the original Sims 4 folder) would be:

MKLINK /J "C:\Users\boop\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" "D:\Sims 4 Data\The Sims 4"

The point here is, there needs to be an Electronic Arts folder in C > Users > boop > Documents, but NOT a Sims 4 folder inside this Electronic Arts folder.

However, before making any changes, please find out how your D drive is formatted.  You can check by clicking Windows key-X and selecting Disk Management.  If it's formatted as anything other than NTFS, that may be the issue, and you'll need to change it.  Formatting the drive would erase it, so rescue any data you wouldn't want to lose first.
