@LadyLucinaTwitch Okay, let's see what Windows thinks is the full file path to the Documents folder. Search in Windows for "command prompt," open it, and enter this:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
Please post the results here.
Sorry for the delayed response. I followed your instructions and it shows C:\Users\LadyLucinaTwitch\OneDrive\Documents as the full file path for Documents. I'm a bit confused since I had disabled OneDrive on my PC.

@LadyLucinaTwitch It sounds like OneDrive decided to reenable itself at some point. This might have happened after a Windows update, with the screen showing you some prompt about backing up your files. The error you mentioned when trying to move the location of Documents is common when OneDrive is involved. At any rate, please follow these instructions for disabling OneDrive, or at least its control of Documents:
You'll also see a registry-related method. This is safe to use in that Microsoft says it won't break anything, but it would be best to try to change OneDrive's settings first. And once you've moved the locations of Documents, Pictures, and Desktop, if that's what you want to do, signing out of OneDrive will disable it. You can double-check your work by running the same command.
Once you've done that, it's worth trying to play Sims 4 before moving the location of Documents a second time, as in, try it when the location is Users > your username > Documents. That might well work, and in that case, it would be unnecessary to move the folder again.
