ive moved my game onto an external disk and none of my saves or mods moved over, so I tried doing what the link said to do, but my cmd says ''Cannot create a file when that file already exists'' however said file isn't visible, at least for me. any idea what I could do to fix this? other than that, my game works just fine
@Majale2006 That error means exactly what it says: that wherever you're trying to create the symlink itself (the link, not the destination), there's already a file or folder with the same name. It'll be easier to help you if you simply post the command you used.
Please also list the default location of Documents on your computer. Write "command" in the Windows search field, open Command Prompt, and enter this command:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
Then post the result.
the command ive previously used was MKLINK /J “%UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “D:\The Sims 4”
Ive tried the "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal" command, yet command prop says The system cannot find the path specified.
is there anything else I could try?
@Majale2006 Please post the results of the second command, and I'll tailor the first command to your setup.
After typing in the second command, command prop says The system cannot find the path specified.
