I did create a symlink but I deleted my documents folder completely both the one in documents and the one had in my hard drive and a new one hasn’t been made since I can’t get the game to start. The mod manager has access to my documents folder and removable volumes .

    I figured it out! I had an electronic arts file back from may (which is weird) that was still there (idk how) and that fixed it
