I moved all the downloaded files to a new drive, even used the REgedit trick. Yet everytime i try to open up sims 4 the game tries to make the game saves file under my PC documents. Am considering if i should uninstall and completely reinstall the game. cause I have no clue what to do. any help is appreciated.
@nlwitje What regedit trick did you use? I'd like to know both what category you edited and what the new value is.
And just in case you don't already know, installing the game on a different drive does not move the location of the Sims 4 user folder. That will always be in Documents > Electronic Arts by default. If you want this folder elsewhere, you'd either need to move the location of Documents (which can be done through a registry edit, so maybe you did this already; but there's an easier and less risky way), or you'd need to create a symbolic link to tell the game where to look. For the latter, please see this guide:
Thank you first of all. i saw before that if you change the location of the files you can show the new path via regedit and then by install.dir.
since then i have been looking for a manner to change the game save files to the same spot as the installed games files. but it keeps going to the documents folder. and sadly i cannot move the location of my docuements due to some other programms.
i will look into the guide you send, thank you so much
