Move MODS folder location or add option to
I don't need technical. I need EA Devs to listen up on a common problem out in the field. May users use cloud services to sync their critical data. Sims 4 stores mod files in the MODS folder located in Documents folder in Windows. This clutters online drive with non-critical Sims4 applications files (aforementioned mod files). Players either have to reduce the number of mod files used (to save space) or completely disconnect their %Document% folder from syncing. Neither of these are preferred solutions.
From Best Practice programming perspective this folder should exist in either %appdata%, %programdata%, game app folder or designated folder with minimal read-only/RW permissions. Sims 4 is the only game I've seen mod files placed in the User Profile (a core user folder at that). So my suggestion here is that you guys relocate the existing MODS folder location (and move any subfolder/files along with it) or give us the option in Settings to change this location ourselves and manually move the files.
For the time being I've use SymLink to relocate the files to an entirely different HDD. Every other game that I play works just fine on a separate HDD without needing to go through these extra steps. Unfortunately since OneDrive sees Symlinks as actual folders it syncs all the files and putting us right back in the same problem (uploading mod files to the cloud) thus filling up storage space for more critical user files.
