Did your Windows 10 receive a large update just before this happened?

How would I get OneDrive to stop synchronizing with the Documents folder? As far as I know the Sims 4 is on OneDrive for me. And there weren't any recent updates, I just logged onto my game and then poof! Everything was gone.

Open File Explorer, rightclick OneDrive and select Settings. On the Auto Save tab choose This PC only from the Dropdown by Documents.
You will Have to manually copy files to OneDrive if you want to have a backup there.
It may be necessary to repair The Sims 4 before it will return to using your local Documents folder again.

Apparently, my OneDrive was already on 'This PC', so so far nothing has worked. Also tried repairing my game, removing some mod files, etc. and so far that hasn't done anything, either.
