Computer recreating files

Bought a SSD so i could have everything on the SSD, went into settings on EA app for downloads to be sent to the D Drive, not on my computers hard drive, but it keeps putting it in my documents. then when i delete the file in the documents, it makes me redownload the game. So frustrated. tried to do the symlink toredirect but it isnt working. i keep all my cc and mods on my D Drive, but the game wants to play off the hard drive where the mods aren't located. Help!

  • kmohn​  What happened when you tried to create the symlink?  If you're not sure, try again and post the result.  I'd like to see the entire Command Prompt window so I can also see the command you used.

    Please also list the location of the user folder the game is currently reading, as described here:

    If you see for yourself that the symlink command includes an incorrect file path, and you know how to correct it, go right ahead.  But if you'd like me to write out the command for you, just list the current location of the user folder and where you'd like it to be.

    Additionally, please do NOT combine the game's program files and the user files.  These need to be in separate folders.  The same drive is fine, just not exactly the same location.
