I moved it and now it won't work

Question

Ran out of space on my C: Drive so moved my files to the larger F: drive. Only now my game will not work since I have deleted the original file folder from C: drive. Why is this happening I backed everything up and uninstalled and reinstalled directing the prompt to the F: drive. All I want to do is play my game and not have more drama!

@DesertDamsyl your screenshot shows the user folder on your e drive. The game won't recognize that as it always checks in documents.

The game should be installed in a folder called EA Games one level above the one showing on your screenshot.

What issue do you have exactly when trying to start the game ?

Follow instructions here on how to redirect your user folder to your F drive: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/74952-move-location-documents-folder-windows-10-a.html (to be sure, it's an internal drive, right ?)

@crinrict&nbsp;(Yes, it is an internal drive)Ugh! Kind of worked but now I don't see my previous saves or mods folder. This is so confusing to me and I have been playing this game since Sims 1. Should I just uninstall and re-install and try again?&nbsp;

@DesertDamsyl  Are there any saves in that folder and did you check which folder the game uses ?https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
