Re: Origin keeps installing game to C drive and not D drive :(

I am having the same issue. I even took my tower to the Geek Squad and they told me to uninstall and redo everything. I did everything by the list that they wrote out and every time I launch the game...

@jlstrotman  The files you're seeing on C aren't actually on C.  You're clicking through the symbolic link and landing in D, to where you redirected your Sims 4 folder.  That's why deleting them in one place removes them from the other: there's only one set of files, which you can access two ways.  If you're not sure about this, right-click on the Sims 4 alias on your C drive and select Properties.  You'll see the file size is tiny compared to the full folder on D.
