I use OneDrive extensively to back up and replicate data between several computers. In relationship to the Sims4 I find that setting OneDrive into pause mode prior to launching any game that stores data in the Documents folder prevents any issues in game play. Once I've finished playing I take OneDrive out of pause mode and let the data sync freely. I have never experienced any data loss or file corruption using this method.

If you do not want OneDrive backing up your game data, there is an option to stop it from syncing the Documents folder while still syncing individual selected folders. See the OneDrive settings for details.

I'm still learning about OneDrive. This gaming laptop is very new and I hated the Cloud, originally, as I keep getting popups asking if I want to delete or restore. If I put stuff in my trash can, generally, I mean for it to be deleted. Of course, I accidentally slid my saves folder and it appeared to go nowhere. I was almost sick. That was my Cantrell saves file! Then I saw an error message at the top of something, so I clicked on it. It opened up the Cloud, again mentioning an error. So, I scrolled down the list of items hoping to see which one was flagged. Nothing. But then I saw what was obviously save files, lots of them. I quickly hit restore and Erik & Company was back. Now, I have mixed feelings about it. I don't like to be pestered and it's becoming a nuisance. LOL I do also back up the entire Sims 4 folder, to ensure I miss nothing. Did that just the other day. I'm also using a few copies of it to try to figure out just what is wrong in my game. Besides not having a Host show up for the Starlight Accolades Show, now Erik isn't getting any nominations. At all. :open_mouth: I have one more experiment to try and if that doesn't fix things, I will start a new save. Not to repeat my Erik saga, per se, but to allow me to play this nuclear family by having the five kids born in-game.
