Hi I have had this issue since I built this PC a few months back and haven't been able to play the Sims 3 on my nice new gaming pc yet. Everytime i try to load a new world it says "a serious error occurred while trying to load "nameofworld.word, we strongly recommend restarting the application". I tried moving the sims 3 files and having it create new ones but it doesn't help. Through research I found out onedrive is most likely the culprit, i tried pausing onedrive but it did nothing. However, most people say you have to literally DELETE onedrive alltogether to get it to work and that is not something I'm willing to do. Any solutions that don't involve removing onedrive? I'm really desperate to able to play The Sims 3 on my new custom built gaming pc. I literally got all the other sims games working on it, and I don't mean the legacy editions, I mean the original versions. I have the Sims 1 complete collection and the Sims 2 ultimate collection running on this pc by using some internet fixes. But i still can't get The Sims 3 and it's driving me crazy, I love The Sims 3. Please help.
Searched "how to stop OneDrive from backing up a specific folder". "To stop OneDrive from backing up a specific folder, you need to access OneDrive settings and then manage the backup of your folders. Navigate to the "Sync and backup" tab, select "Manage backup," and then deselect the checkbox next to the folder you wish to exclude from backing up."
I imagine unchecking the box next to the Electronic Arts folder should do the trick. Always back up your folders before doing anything with them, especially concerning OneDrive. I've not personally done this since I disabled OneDrive on my laptop when I bought it, so your mileage may vary.
NOTE: If you search for the text above, you can view detailed instructions on how to do this.
I cannot stop onedrive from backing up electronic arts, it's in my documents folder and onedrive doesn't let you opt out of backing that up.
