I cant figure out how to change the save folder on EA. I can change the download folder but it still default saves to old location.

@onlyjanessa1  There is no way to specify the location of your saves or other user data within the EA App.  Moving this data needs to be done on a system level.  Does your computer run Windows or macOS?  There are guides for each, but they're quite different.

      Your only option is to create a symlink to store the TS4 folder in a different location. See the opening post on page 1.
