@LILBRO2KBABY The complicated way, I mean it's not all that complicated but does require more steps, starts with redirecting your Documents folder to the local location, as in, C:\Users\your username\Documents, with no OneDrive in the file path. Here's how:

You may need to first pause syncing and/or cancel the current sync:
You'll also need to stop OneDrive from syncing the contents of Documents:
The problem is, sometimes Sims 4 will still read the Documents folder within OneDrive even after you've completed all these steps. Once it's "chosen" a location, so to speak, only uninstalling and reinstalling the game will change this, I mean if redirecting Documents doesn't have an effect.
The other fix would be to create a new admin Windows account on your computer and make it a local account, as in, don't sign into OneDrive. Sims 4 should use that account's Documents folder automatically. It's easy to move files between accounts: just drop anything you want to move into C:\Users\Public.
Before doing anything, make sure you have a backup copy of all your Sims 4 content just in case something gets deleted along the way. It shouldn't, but things do happen, and at the very least, having a backup means no moment of panic while you look for a file that may or may not have disappeared.
