    @Fairycatcher  Is the last one the file path the game is using?  That would be very odd for Sims 4 because it's programmed to write to the user's Documents directory.

    It's worth double-checking the location of the Documents directory as well.  Search in Windows for Command Prompt, open it, and enter this command:

    reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"

    This returns the location of Documents.  Please post the result here.

    I'm pretty sure I accidentally copied the same file from the mdos folder, but here is the results from the command thing, i'm using window powershell so it might be different.

    Window Powershell;

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\[Username]\Shell Folders
    Personal REG_SZ C:\Users\Princ\Documents

    PS C:\Users\Princ>

    User file;
    C:\Users\Princ\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Screenshots\

    @Fairycatcher  That looks like what I'd expect.  Documents is in the correct location, and Sims 4 is using the correct Documents folder.  The issue is that your saves and custom content are in a folder on your desktop.  So just move them into the correct folders within Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, and they should work again.
