Stop OneDrive from automatically synchronizing the documents folder. Start the game and the the default user folders will be created in the Documents folder. Exit the game then you can copy or move your saves and mods (if you have any) from OneDrive to your local hdd.

Thank you for your quick response. I've tried stopping synchronizing before, and doing so automatically deletes everything in my documents folder, so I lose all my saved games. So that doesn't really work.

      I followed your instructions. The Sims opened asking me to start a new game. I searched everywhere for an option to tell it to look for my saved games from the folder I copied them to, but there was no option. I had no choice but to put them back in my OneDrive folder. Now I'm waiting for it to sync and hoping that it works because otherwise I've lost all my saved games like I was afraid would happen. Thanks for trying to help, but yeah... that doesn't work.

        Like I told you, you needed to copy them from OneDrive to the newly created folder.
