Uninstalling Sims 4
So I already researched this question, but since it's from a dated post, I want to ensure that it still applies. I have very minimal space on my Mac and can't even back up files on my external drive I received today, and uninstalling Sims 4 would alleviate a lot of space. That being said, the response says, "You will not loose any of your Sims 4 files if you uninstall/reinstall Sims 4. This includes gifted Sims 4 packs. However, if you're still unsure copy the Sims 4 folder to your desktop or a USB key. Your saved games, mods and custom content will be safe this way." However, when I attempt to do that I get the opposite message (see screenshot). I already contacted EA and I'm not sure when I'll get a response. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The Sims 4 folder referred to in your post is the folder that contains all your saves etc. and is located in the Documents > Electronic Arts folder. It is completely separate from the game installation which is referred to in your screenshot. You can uninstall the game and it won't affect your Sims 4 folder but you should always back up the Sims 4 folder just in case.
