MOD newbie - some questions
As many of you know Bettyboop55 and IT are not two things which go together. You may also know that I am nearing completion on my first serious CAW project and need to install rabbithole rugs in orde...

Nope, the H drive in my example is the drive you moved your folder to. The directory doesn't have to be the same, no.
Yours would look something like this, I imagine, but I don't know where One Drive is located, so this is just an example:
Basically the first directory you type is where you are creating the symbolic link - in your case, this is in One Drive. The second link is where you moved your Sims 3 folder and where you want the symbolic link to be linked to - in your case, this is your Sims 3 folder that you moved into your D Drive. You don't need a folder structure in your D Drive, just put your Sims 3 folder in.
If you are looking to move your CAW files from One Drive, then you can. Basically, it'd be the same procedure as above:
And just like with your Sims 3 folder, you want to move the entire folder to where you want it to be before creating the link. The symbolic link creates the new symbolic The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 Create A World Tool folders, so you don't want them to exist at all in their previous location in One Drive before creating the symbolic link.
So, basically, here's what that command line means:
mlink /D - tells the computer to create a symbolic link using the following directories. The /D is the type of symbolic link, but you don't have to worry about that. :lol:
First Directory - Where you want to create the symbolic link folder, ending with the name you wish to give the folder. The Sims 3, in our case.
Second Directory - The location of the folder you want to symbolically link to.
And in case you aren't sure - the quotes around each directory are necessary and should be typed in the command line.
If you tell me where your One Drive is, I can give you the exact command to do the job if it's still confusing to you. :smile:
