@Cyanide68 Edit: I did end up just deleting the OneDrive sims 4 folder, and it defaulted back to my usual path.
Any word on how to stop one drive being such an overbearing jealous ex? I've disabled it multiple times, turned off sync, deleted everything from it, etc. It just keeps coming back and screwing everything up.

@Cyanide68  If you unlink your Microsoft account, OneDrive won't be able to sign itself in.  Right-click the OneDrive icon in the lower-right corner of your screen and select Settings > Account, then click Unlink this PC.

To move the location of the Documents directory, please use this guide:

Choose the default location, i.e. %USERPROFILE%\Documents , for the Personal value (the location of Documents).  Even OneDrive can't stop you from changing the registry value like this.

    Thanks! We'll see if I can manage permanently breaking up with OneDrive.

    The link for regedit might actually solve the issue I've been having with Nexus' Vortex, which I've been trying to solve since BG3 launched a few weeks ago and their help forums have been useless about. 

    Kudos for solving a problem you didn't even know about <3
