Re: Clean windows install, will ea app recognise games from my SSD?
@kayakat The EA App probably won't recognize your existing game installs because their registry entries won't be present. What you can do is tell the App to install those games in their current locations—the App may simply verify the files and finalize the install rather than needing to download the content from scratch. This works for me the majority of the time when I test it, but not always.
Your Sims 4 user files are separate, or at least they should be. (If you've combined the game's program files and the user data, that's a separate matter. Let me know, since this should be untangled as soon as possible.) I take it you've moved Documents to your SSD or used a symbolic link to redirect the game to the folder? Either way, you'll need to repeat that process, and then Sims 4 will recognize your existing content, including the login rewards.
