Despite being installed on D: it's still half installing on C:
I waited a long time for mods to update after Lovestruck came out. Thought I'd be safe, ya know? So I upgraded the game, updated my 800+ mods, and tried to log in for the first time since the newest expansion came out.
Zero saves were available. Not the end of the world for me, I was going to start new anyway. But all of the mods were missing as well. CurseForge showed them as having installed but some of them being corrupt so I went through and one by one re-installed the ones that were having problems. Still nothing.
When I go into the Sims, it shows the installation folder as being on my D drive, which is the one with all the space. HOWEVER, the main game files seem to be on the C drive. Repairing the game did nothing to help.
So I did what any insane person does and uninstalled and deleted everything having to do with the Sims 4 to start all over again. Ensuring that I deleted on both drives.
Fresh install finished last night. I just got to the computer today. When I go to install mods from curse forge it installs them fine, until I look at the folder it sends them to and there is a FRESH folder on the C drive, where I did not ask it to install anything, that it's putting the mods in to. Double checked, and everything in both the sims 4 and curse forge says that it should be installing on my D drive.
Help? =/ It never did this before. I cannot specify the mod folder inside the sims 4 either, so I can't move where it's installing them at. I don't have space on my C drive to hold anything more than Windows and I don't understand why this would have changed so suddenly.
@czerniana Here's how to create a symbolic link:
That article also has a link for moving Documents if you prefer, but as jpkarlsen stated, it's only safe to move Documents to another internal drive, not to external storage.
