Inappropriate Saving Location
I recently learned my Sims 4 App is saving my games in an inaccessible place. When I say it's inaccessible, I mean the game can't load them. I don't know how that happened. I also saw other files ass...

@Gamer53186 Here's how to get rid of OneDrive:
This problem is not caused by the EA App but rather Windows itself. It's possible that after a recent update, Windows asked you if you wanted to enable syncing or automatic backups or some similar wording, which you could do without signing into OneDrive if your Microsoft account was already linked to your user account. If you said yes, Windows would change the location of the Documents directory without asking further.
I don't get it! I unlinked my computer from OneDrive -- and that happened. My next step is to pause syncing while I play. I can't get rid of OneDrive as it is my lifeline. When reestablishing the link with my computer, I did block [I hope] file-sharing of the folder on OneDrive that contains the Electronics Arts Folder.
@Gamer53186 Please list the full path to your Documents directory as Windows sees it. That's the point of the command I listed earlier, but the result may have changed:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
And I do need the entire result now. You can write [username] instead of your actual username if you want, but leave the rest intact, and let me know if you see the wrong username.
Please also go in-game and find the full path to the user folder Sims 4 is reading, again if you checked before changing OneDrive settings:

Here too, please list the entire file path, writing [username] if you want.
