Every time we try to save our Sims 3 game on our Windows 10 computer we get an error 16 message. I have tried all the fixes for the error, nothing has worked and we cannot figure out what is causing this issue.

@80552a83233a1346 Is OneDrive running on this computer? Even if you think it's not, it could still be interfering. If it IS running, try pausing syncing, now, to see whether you can save. To see the option, right-click the cloud icon in the lower-right corner of the screen, or perhaps hidden in the Tray (^ icon).
If OneDrive is not running, please make sure your user folder isn't pointed there anyway. Search in Windows for Command Prompt, open it, and enter this command:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
Then post the result. You can write [username] instead of your actual username if you want, but please leave the rest intact.
After typing in both of those, the result is the same.

I have suspended all One drive operations on this computer.
@80552a83233a1346 To be clear, you entered this entire command?
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
If you open the registry and check the Personal value, as described here:
what do you see? I'm not suggesting you change anything, yet, but the above command is a shortcut to finding this value, so you can just go find it directly.
