How do I change the location of my Mods folder?

Hello
You need to move the whole Documents folder to the D drive. You are unable to just move the electronic arts folder.

Are your save game files still in your documents -electronic arts -sims 4 -saves folder?
I posted a link to a video tutorial in the above post and I am not sure if you saw iit.

Hello
It is great that your Dad was able to put your sims 4 folder on One Drive, so that clears up space for you :) He is a caring and kind Dad <3
Just a little note. Some simmers have had issues when their sims 4 folder was on One Drive.

In this article posted by crinrict, she writes about using One Drive in the section of the article called " Suggestions : About 1 "

I have the same problem but i am using a pc. How can i move these folders without it just being a copy in the external hard drive.

Hello @CaitMarie12
This video explains how to move your Documents folder so that is no longer on the C drive and is now on another drive. It would be best to move the folder to another internal hard drive not an external hard drive

I watched the video, but I still can't figure out how to move my documents folder. I'm on windows 7, and if I right click documents and choose properties, it doesn't give me the same options as the video showed.

Hello @Reitanna
This is a link to moving My Documents folder in Windows 7

I know I'm late, but there's a far better remedy for redirection (what you are trying to achieve) within Windows than what's being used by everyone here, and it is called the junction link. As an example, I will describe how I moved my Mods folder from its original location on my C: Drive, to my E: Drive, an M.2 SSD that I use to run programs that take (relatively) forever to load on a HDD:

To be clear, this is the original path to my Sims 4 Mods directory ("directory" is a synonym for "folder"):
"C:\Users\testpc\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods"

Step 1 - create the new location:
copy your Mods directory (or whichever directory you wish) to your desired location. Just remember the file path to your new Mods location.
When I was done copying, I had the following file path structure:
"E:\Sims 4 Mods\Mods"

Step 2 - backup your original:
edit your original Mods directory's name, and append the following phrase to that directory's name
~original
So my Mods directory was renamed to Mods~original


Step 3 - open the command prompt:
You will need to open the command prompt, and I recommend doing so as the administrator (I don't know your permissions scheme, so running as the administrator may avoid errors for some users). If you don't know how to run the command prompt, then: open the windows start button, and in search, type the following phrase: command prompt. You can figure it out from there.

Step 4 - execute the instructions:
I ran the following command to lead "The Sims 4" program to its new Mods folder location:

Mklink /J "C:\Users\testpc\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods" "E:\Sims 4 Mods\Mods"

The Mklink command has the following structure:
Mklink /J "Old file location" "New File Location"
