Different Sims 4 files
Due to the latest update there was no storage left in my computer so I decided to move the Electronic Arts file to an HDD. After i moved the file the sims 4 re-downloaded but the files are all messed...

I tried the symbolic link and that doesn’t work because OneDrive follows it too when syncing files.
As you say, you can actually disable syncing (“backing up”) of the Documents folder. It just took me a while to find, as they changed how it worked since last time I used it. So removing Documents did the trick, but now my niece doesn’t have a standard Documents folder for putting, well you know, DOCUMENTS! I just created a Documents folder on her Desktop and told her to put her files there.
I think Sims using that folder by default is fine, whatever their reasons are, but I think they should also have an advanced setting, so power users have other options.
I don’t think Steam has this issue.
@stoltzyplus There should absolutely be a Documents folder in C > Users > username (not inside OneDrive). If it's not there, you can recreate it, and you can edit the registry to designate it as the Documents directory:
Steam definitely has this issue in that Sims 4 reads from the same folder as it would with an EA App install.
