@izabellazz There are two separate Sims 4 folders on your computer. One holds the game's program files, which is the data the EA App installs, and you can tell the App to install the game (almost) anywhere, with no special process necessary. It sounds like you successfully installed the game on your D drive.
The user folder holds saves, mods, etc., and is always located in Documents > Electronic Arts. If you want to redirect this folder elsewhere, you'll need to create a symbolic link. Here's how:
If this doesn't work, please post a screenshot of the Command Prompt window showing the command you used and the error you received.
Finally, please make sure that you are NOT combining the game's program files and user data. The user folder can be wherever you want on D as long as it's not the same folder as the program files.
Hey thanks for replying, and explaining it better so i understand hehe (took me blood sweat and some tears to make sense of the game program files and electronic arts folder) i successfully made junction links in cmd from D drive to C drive yesterday but the game won't start bc of out of date mods (i have double checked that some mods work and tray /saves also work) i have downloaded 3 different kinds of mod identifier programs but i think the junction links makes it hard for the programs to identify the mods correctly (in one of the programs it just said that all my mods were red).
Do you know a workaround for this/another solution? i sincerely do not want to manually go through 5,5 k mods hehe.
Thanks in advance
