shesemeaux First, let's find out whether your user folder is still in OneDrive. Search in Windows for Command Prompt, open it, and enter this command:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
The result should be C:\Users\your username\Documents unless you specifically chose to move it elsewhere. If you see OneDrive in the path, or anything else you didn't intend, stop here and let me know.
Otherwise, please delete the Sims 4 folder in your screenshot, but don't empty the trash yet just in case you need to recover something. It looks like this folder has both user and program files in it. Clear the EA App's cache:

and reinstall the game, but this time, choose the location you want to use on your external drive. It would be best to create a folder on the external, so you install the game to something like D:\Games rather than directly to D:\, as this will help prevent certain other issues down the line.
If the folder in your screenshot comes back after you trash it, right-click it and select Properties > General, then list the Location, as in, I'd like to know whether it happens to be in OneDrive.
If you can successfully reinstall the game to the external and the data in your screenshot does NOT come back, launch the game once to make sure it's working, and let me know where you'd like your user data to be. Please list the entire file path to that location.
