Bloomthewolf Are you getting the "serious error" message? When you turned off OneDrive, did you confirm that your Documents directory is no longer in the OneDrive folder, or that Sims 3 is no longer trying to write to that folder? This is the location I mean:

Another way to check is to ask Command Prompt for the location of the Documents directory:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
The game will always try to use this directory if it can.
