Mods and Saves Gone
My game has been running slow lately so I looked up ways to speed it up and one of the ways was to clear the cache so I did that and when I logged back into Sims it acted as if I was playing the Sims...
Forum Discussion
@Talia_Simss You moved the game's program files, as in the installed game itself, not the user data folder. The user data folder is always in Documents\Electronic Arts; if the game can't find one there, it creates a new one.
Please move the Sims 4 program files folder back to Program Files (x86)\Origin Games. Then go into your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair. If Origin still thinks the game isn't installed, let me know.
@puzzlezaddict It was still saying it is uninstalled so I logged off of Origin and then back in to do the repair and it immediately started downloading it back or updating I am honestly not sure. But you were right about it saving somewhere else it is in One Drive....which sucks and is another problem lol. I moved my mods into the new mods folder and have them back. I'm honestly not worried about my saves anymore. Just need to get this file out of OneDrive
@Talia_Simss Okay, what's in OneDrive right now? Please take a screenshot of the contents, or at least the contents of the Sims 4 folder(s) in OneDrive. Let me know whether the game downloaded fully again or not as well. The easiest way to find out is to see whether you can actually play.
Yes I can actually play and I included the contents in the Sims 4 folder
@Talia_Simss Okay, that's a copy of your Sims 4 user data folder, not the program files. You can prevent OneDrive from auto syncing the contents of Documents:
Launch the game once, to make sure all your content is still present. If it is, you can just delete the Sims 4 folder in OneDrive. If your content isn't showing up in-game, you can replace the folder the gme is using with the one from OneDrive. Open a File Explorer window, click on This PC in the left panel, then follow this path:
C:\Users\[your username]\Documents\Electronic Arts
Move the Sims 4 folder to the recycle bin; don't empty it yet, in case it turns out there's something in that folder you want. Then move the Sims 4 folder from OneDrive to the Electronic Arts folder in the path above. Open the game again, to make sure all your content is back.
