@seapea26 I've merged your post with the master thread for issues with OneDrive. Please see the first post on page one. Choose the method that works for you (and that you can actually implement) and follow the instructions to make it happen.
Unsyncing OneDrive doesn't need to mean losing your saves. You can place those saves, and anything else you'd like to keep, in the new Documents folder the game starts reading after the change. That's probably the easiest approach here, but you do have other options if you'd prefer not to get rid of OneDrive completely.
I followed the steps of deselecting the Sims 4 folder from OneDrive. The next step says: "Once you deselect the given folder, it will be removed from your computer and stored only in the cloud. You can now restore the backup copy you made, and OneDrive won't sync it. If you forgot to back up this folder, you can still download it from onedrive.com." I'm a bit confused on how to restore the backup copy without having it be synced.
@seapea26 You can go to onedrive.com (the website), sign in, and download your files from the "My files" section. If you don't know what I mean, access the website now and have a look.
The part about restoring the backup copy you made refers to the previous instructions to copy the user folder yourself and store it somewhere safe, e.g. an external drive, or even the Downloads folder.
These are two separate options.
