@JINXEDFOXY Here's how to find the folder the game is using:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
When you put content into that folder, it should show up. If it doesn't, please post a screenshot of the folder that directly contains the files (saves, cc, whatever) that aren't loading.
Idk how it happened. I had copied the game because I had to uninstall and reinstall. I marked those folders and deleted them. There were some folders in my recycle bin.
I moved the game through Origin to my HD drive 🍸 from my SSD (C) (it was working fine then) I used the link and looked in screen capture. It says my videos and screenshots are in One Drive (C) I moved it to the 🍸 folder and put the current saves in it. They still didn't load in the game.
When I look in properties some of the folders just have D:\ as the location.
Sorry I put the letter D but for some reason it is a cocktail lol
@JINXEDFOXY What folder is the game using? Please use the guide I posted earlier to find out, then put your content in that folder.
I posted it above. It says it's on OneDrive (which is C: ) I don't want my game there. I have a folder for it on my D drive which is where it was when it was working.
I don't even know what happened because all I did was put a CC in different mod folders because they weren't showing up in the game.
@JINXEDFOXY Right, so if you put files in a folder that the game isn't reading, the files won't show up.
It sounds like the easiest approach here would be to move the location of Documents to D, which is supported by Windows. You should only do this if D is an internal drive.

If you don't want to do that, or D is an external drive, you'll need to temporarily disable OneDrive, launch the game once to make sure it uses a different folder, then use a symbolic link to point the Sims 4 folder to the location you want to use on D.
Of course nothing is ever easy for me lol! I tried that. I moved my documents to the D drive, but the location still says OneDrive. I went to the Iocation section to move it that way like the link says. So I tried again and it told me it "Can't move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected" I then deleted the folder in D drive to try again and every time I do it comes back. (if that makes sense)
Sorry this is dragging on. I feel so stupid and hopeless!
@JINXEDFOXY If you completely disable OneDrive, as in, you're not signed in and OneDrive isn't showing up as accessible, then you launch Sims 4, which folder does it start using? You may need to create a new save or take a screenshot in order for it to reset.
I paused OneDrive. I couldn't find where to disable it. Still couldn't move my documents.
My saves are still going into OneDrive. I saved a new game and a new folder appeared. I manually moved all my saves from the old folder for the new one. I just moved one save to see it it would work and it did. The others didn't though. It started another saves folder. I put my games in there. They are now loading. I also had to move my mods to the place where the new saves is. I guess I will just have to have it on the C drive.
Thank you guys for your help! 🙂
