It says it cannot create a file that already exist, i believe it is because the game itself is downloaded on the external hard drive but not the electronics arts folder, it just creates a new one every time i try to download any type of mod.
Here's what showed up
@RedactedXOXO The problem is the Sims 4 folder in Users > your username > OneDrive > Documents > Electronic Arts. Move or rename that folder, and make sure OneDrive doesn't download a fresh copy.
If you want to get rid of OneDrive first, please follow the guide I linked in my last post. I personally would get rid of it, but it is your choice.

Okay, tried that after unlinking just the electronics arts file because i didn't want to get rid of OneDrive because when i attempted to it presented an entirely new set of problems that caused me a headache, so it didn't create a new folder in the my personal connection with one drive but it is still creating a folder in the documents but i have no idea where because it just has a little computer logo > documents > Electronic arts
and downloading mods anywhere but curseforger is a no go

@RedactedXOXO If you right-click this folder (or any file or folder) and select Properties > General, you can see the Location. That will tell you exactly where it is.
OneDrive can be removed without side effects, but it does take some extra steps sometimes. That's why I wrote a whole guide for it.
Still, the point here is that Sims 4 will always create a folder in your computer's Documents directory, and if you want that user folder elsewhere, you'll need to create a symbolic link. I can help with the process, but I need to know the exact path of the current user folder and the location where you'd like this data to be.

Okay, first i must say thank you for being patient with me so far and second the location i found is C:\Users\[MyUserName]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 is where the folder is now coming up
