Re: Changing drives

@imjuliewaters  Thanks for the info, and the in-game screenshot is helpful as confirmation.  First, please go into the Electronic Arts folder in your first screenshot (the one on C), right-click the Sims 4 folder, and select Cut.  Open D:\Electronic Arts, in your second screenshot, right-click the empty space, and select Paste.  There should now be a Sims 4 folder there, and no Sims 4 folder in your first screenshot.

Next, use this exact command to create the symlink:

MKLINK /J “C:\Users\water\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “D:\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4”

Then test the game.

    I moved the Sims 4 folder like you said and then created the symlink and they are linked now. I tested my game and it worked. I moved over the mods, tray, and saves and those work as well. Now I just need to clear out some CC because I never realized how much the start-up lagged because of how much I had. lol Thank you so much for all of your help! You are an angel! ❤️ I can't see why I should ever need to, but if I need to undo the symlink for some reason are the instructions on that original link you gave me?
