    aquamarine_blues​  If you rename the Sims 4 folder on your secondary drive, does the game work?  The reason I ask is if you delete the symlink and do nothing else, the game isn't reading any of your data.  So the problem could be your data instead of the symlink.

I renamed it and the same issue persists, same error from EA app (error trying to launch the game). I re-added the link after deleting it and trying to run the game again, only time I didn't do that was to test if the game would run without any link and just generate a new user folder instead (which it did, played up until live mode and everything was working fine)

I'll try deleting the link and moving back my user folder to Documents to see if the game works/can read my User folder.
