Hi I have been having the same issue. I am trying to download sims 4 onto my D drive and it has over 700gb of space. I have deleted my entire game and all the files. I have resorted to trying to just download the base game and it says I only need 21gb to download it. But then it says low disk space. My C drive is very full but I am downloading the game onto the D drive so I'm not sure what is going wrong. Please help. 🙂

@AtomicDazey  The problem is that the EA App sees the lack of free space on C even though you're trying to install to D.  The workaround is to clear enough space on C, at least temporarily, to allow the App to download Sims 4.

As a side note, it would be best to have at least 25 GB free on C at all times for the overall health of your computer.  Windows can't install a feature update with less than about 20 GB, and temp files will take up space from time to time as well.
