I uninstalled ONEDRIVE and now i cant get my game to open up

 

I uninstalled ONEDRIVE and now i cant get my game to open up in the right documents folder

I was experiencing some glitches with my sims 4 game after installing some new mods. I didn't realize OneDrive was were my sims4 was being downloaded. SO I saved a copy of my current game and then uninstalled OneDrive. I uninstalled the game and EA after re installing i could open the game and it would play but once i opened the game files i did not see a tray folder or a saves folder. I looked up the file location and realized it  was being saved on my local C drive in the program files but the sims 4 folder does not have tray folders or save files yet my game i ran to see if it is working keeps being in the game

  • jaydream​  Your user files and folders need to be in the location the game is currently reading.  Use the guide I linked in my first reply to find the exact location, then move any stray files into the appropriate subfolders in that location.

    I think i found it , can i just download the file on my computer where should i save it 

  • jaydream​  The saves and other data may be in the old location:

    C:\Users\your username\OneDrive\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4

    You can open that location in a File Explorer window by clicking This PC in the left panel and then choosing the successive folders.

    If your files aren't there, they may be on onedrive.com, which you can access without reenabling OneDrive on your computer.

    If that doesn't help either, please see this guide to missing user content:

    Thanks for responding , I am going through sims withdrawal lol

    It opens but its a new game that i started last night i created a family so i could see if it would allow me to save it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and the same new family appears. But i want to put my saves, mods and tray folder from my old sims game into the new one but when i open the file location i don't see any tray or save folders from the new game. I hope that makes sense
