Great catch! OneDrive’s 'Manage Backup' feature often redirects the \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder to a cloud path, which causes those 'unowned pack' errors because the EA App loses the handshake with the local files.
For anyone worried about losing their legacy saves or screenshots by turning off OneDrive backup: it’s worth using a dedicated tool like SysTools OneDrive Migration to ensure your data is safely moved or backed up to a different tenant or local storage before you start toggling these sync settings. It’s a solid way to make sure your game files stay intact while you're fixing the directory paths.
Great advise on SysTools and DONT FORGET before you delete your SIMS 4 Folder, make sure to copy and paste your MODS, SAVES, and TRAY on your desktop so you can put them back in the folder or you will LOSE EVERYTHING.
