One Drive is on my computer but I don't use it and its not signed into.
In my screenshot setting the location paths look exactly like yours
Okay so you have it installed but it's not on? Otherwise you should make sure it does not auto-start anyway or uninstall it as it's not very good too have lots of programs that you don't use and just take up space/memory 🙂
Okay, so this is what it said?
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Screenshots?
If you take a new screenshot, does it show up in that folder? Also, do you have all your save files in
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves
And they do not show up in game anyway?
- Make a backup; copy your The Sims 4-folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to an external drive or somewhere else on your computer, for example your desktop.
- Rename the The Sims 4-folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4_backup
- Start the game, make a new save, then check your screenshot settings again, copy the path and please paste it or take a photo just so I can see and make sure.
- Exit the game, has the game made a new folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts
- If yes, contunue
- if no, please post here
- Start putting folders back in the new The Sims 4-folder.
- Options.ini - your game settings
- Saves - your old saves. The sub-folders are not needed. If putting these back causes problem, try putting one back at a time.
- Screenshots
- Custom music - if you have any
- Tray - your library objects; like lots, rooms and sims
- Mods - your mods and cc, might cause problems when putting back
If putting back one of the folders was problematic and you did not work it out, please post a reply and we'll see if we can find what your problem is!

No, the screenshots don't show up at all
Also when I followed your steps the game did not generate a new folder

Very strange.. could you take a screenshot of your EA-folder? Like this:
You could also try searching, in "This computer" for "02-15-18_"
does any screenshot show up?
