djvm13​  You can install the game's program files wherever you want, but NOT in Documents.  If you'd rather install to D, go ahead.  Just make a separate folder on D, for example D:\Games, and choose that when installing.

If you want to do a clean uninstall of Sims 4 before reinstalling, which might be a good idea if you've had the game installed in multiple locations, here's how:

Note that all of this is separate from the user folder, which will be in Documents > Electronic Arts regardless of where you've installed the game.  The mod manager should be working with this folder.  If it's not, if it can't find the folder on D, then use a different manager or just manage the files yourself.  Mod managers are not a great option anyway for various reasons.

Sorry I forget to tell you that I am on windows 11 PC

I reinstalled it to my C drive and it seems to be fine but now I can not get the sims 4 mod manager to work right. It wants to go to my user file and I do not have it installed there it is under c drive program files but I use the documents file on my D drive. I want to install the game on my D drive but just don't know how. It was all fine on my E drive before the last update then it would not load so I reloaded it and it still put all the packs in my document/electronic/arts/the sims 4

djvm13​  No, you should not have installed the game anywhere into Documents.  So please uninstall it and reinstall somewhere else.  If you need help with this process, let me know whether your computer runs Windows or macOS.

Before uninstalling the game, make a backup copy of the saves and Tray folders inside Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  If you want to save your Screenshots and Recorded Videos folders, do that too, plus Mods if you have any mods or custom content.  Uninstalling the game may remove this entire Sims 4 folder, including all your user data.  But other than the above, the files are replaceable.
