Re: The Sims 4 files are,, wrong? tray, saves, mod, etc. folders are replaced

@Colfen020802 What you are looking at is the game core files. Do NOT mess with them! The game user files by default will be on the system device C: under the user documents folder. These files can also be relocated by using the operating system (Windows) function symbolic link. I do not recommend using symbolic link unless you really know how to use it. The game user files your looking for should be located c:\users\your user name\documents\Electromic Arts\The Sims 4 This would be the default location IF you are not using OneDrive. If OneDrive is active Windows will move new files and files that have been modified from the user documents folder to the users OneDrive folder to be synced. As the game does not know about OneDrive or symbolic link this can (and does) cause problems for the game. This is why I recommend not to relocate the game user files.  hth

    @roberta591 ,

    Thank you for the reply, after looking at the path to the location of the save file I was playing in I did find files were stored in OneDrive (C:\Users\(my name)\OneDrive\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves\Slot_00000002.save). If it creates any more problems I'll see what I can do as I do not have enough storage to download the sims 4 in OS (C🙂. Thank you for making that distinction though & bringing this to my attention 🙂
