Hi all! I'm back with a new issue... So a while ago I tried moving my game to a D: drive and quickly realized that I wasn't actually playing it from the D: drive but still my PC. So I gave up that d...

Hi, I just tried to follow the symbolic link tutorial that you sent me. I made it to the Command Prompt step and followed what to do and this (see attachment) is what I got instead of what the tutorial said I should get (I'll copy and paste what the tutorial said the response should be).
What the tutorial said the response should be:
Press ENTER
You should now see the following in the command prompt window
“Connection created for %UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4″ <<===>> E:\The Sims 4“ (for your path)
Please continue to help. I'm not very tech-savvy so I'm really unsure as to what I'm doing. Thank you!
@ohjosiek The first time you tried the command, you left off the quotation mark at the end of the second file path. The second time, you still left off that last quote mark and you also didn't leave a space between the two file paths. This is the command you want to use, assuming that D:\The Sims 4 is the correct location:
MKLINK /J “%UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” "D:\The Sims 4"
- @puzzlezaddict I tried that and it says "the system cannot find the path specified"
I'm sure I did the path wrong. The Sims 4 file that I moved is in the D: drive and isn't in any other files. I can send a screenshot of where the file is if you need it to see where it is to help further. Thank you for doing all this for such a non tech savvy person like me. I really appreciate it@ohjosiek Yes, please do post the full file path of the new Sims 4 folder you want to use, and also the current Sims 4 folder. You can see the file paths in the address bar or by right-clicking and selecting Properties > General and looking under Location.
