@puzzlezaddict Successfully deleted the old symlink. For the new one, since the second option (the Electronic art one) was telling me "Cannot create a file that already exist", i used the first option, and it led me to this (image below). The second folder in the image is what my game is reading.
So the path my game uses is "C:\Users\salmi\Documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 4", but i want my game to use "D:\Documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 4".
@Coldsicc The error when trying to create a symlink for the Electronic Arts folder probably happened because there's already an Electronic Arts folder in Documents (on C). Windows won't allow you to have two files or folders with the same name in the same location, so the first step when creating a symlink is to move or remove the folder that already has the same name.
The weird thing is that, as in your screenshot, you have two folders called "Les Sims 4": that should never happen. But this reminds me of an issue a couple of French-speaking players brought up a while back. It seems that the "Les Sims 4" folder uses a different kind of space than the one you'd create if you typed it out. So even though the folders' titles look exactly the same, the system recognizes them as different, as does the game.
What you can try in this approach is copying the name Sims 4 uses to your symlink. First, move the "Les Sims 4" folder the game is using to the desktop. Then highlight and copy its name, and paste that name over the name for the symlink and for the folder it points to. Load the game and see whether it now uses the symlink.
The other approach is to move the Electronic Arts folder (in C:\Documents) to the desktop and create a symlink for it instead. Take your pick.
