I’ve seen posts about how to properly switch the sims 4 files to a SSD hard drive, but none on how to fix it if you’ve already switched it the wrong way. My question is, how do I get the game t...

@tylorxmalcolm The game location setting only covers the location of the game's program files, not the user folder. The point of the symlink is to redirect the user folder; it doesn't have anything to do with where the program files are located.
For the symbolic link, try using the full file path in the command instead of %userprofile%. To confirm the file path, you can right-click the folder where you want the symlink to go and select Properties > General, then find the Location. So, for example, perhaps this is where you want the symlink to go:
C:\Users\Fakename\Documents\Electronic Arts
The command would then become this:
MKLINK /J “C:\Users\Fakename\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “E:\The Sims 4”Except that you'll change the E:\The Sims 4 to the correct location for your Sims 4 user folder, wherever you've pasted it.
If this doesn't help, please post a screenshot of the command prompt window after you've run the commands so I can take a look. Please also list the full file path to the Sims 4 user folder, wherever you've placed it.
@tylorxmalcolm NOTE: When you use symbolic link DO NOT delete the source folder. There is an invisible system file created in the source folder that the operating system looks for. If you delete the source folder the operating system won't know where to look for the destination.
