So if I were to make the Documents folder on my HDD the main Doc folder would it be considered as "on the c: drive" by the computer? I could keep the game program files folder on the actual C: drive and it would work? Would doing so slow down the game?

  The drive letter as such is irrelevant to Windows it looks for the path in the Registry. It will not slow down the game except briefly when loading or saving because the hdd is slower than the ssd.

Hi! I tried to move my documents folder but it gives me an error saying it can't be redirected. Is there a way to fix this? Or some other solution to allow the Sims 4 to run of my D drive?

  @acossari Please post a screenshot of the error, and describe how you're trying to move Documents. Please let me know whether you have OneDrive enabled as well.
