How to move sims 4+packs+mods/cc from C drive to D drive?
Hi there,
I would like to ask if someone knows how to move your sims 4 game and packs with your mods and saves, from one drive to another and have it all still work after moving it all?
I am trying to move it to save space on my operating drive.
I hope someone has an answer to this
@xNicklasx For the game's program files, open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, select Move Game, and choose your preferred destination. It's best to create a folder on the secondary drive first if you haven't already, for example directing the data to D:\Games rather than just D.
For your user data, including saves and mods, everything is stored in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 regardless of where the game itself is installed. Your two options here are to redirect all of Documents to the other drive, which is fine for a secondary internal drive but should not be done if the drive is external; or to use a symbolic link, which is fine for internal or external drives.

Either way, make a backup copy of the Sims 4 user folder before proceeding, just in case.
