Offloading the sims?

Id also like to note; I only use the EA app for the sims. I was originally thinking about Rocket League, but it was only really to impress my crush. So should I just remove the EA app as a whole for the time being?

@dreamystarbi  When you uninstall Sims 4 itself, through the EA App, you remove the game but (usually, under normal circumstances) not your saves or other user data.  Those are stored in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, and it's best to make a backup of this folder or its critical contents, e.g. the saves folder, just to be on the safe side.  As for your DLC, your account owns it, not your computer, and it will be available to reinstall whenever you want.

This is not only about uninstalling the game but also in case you run into computer trouble.  You can upload the data to a free cloud storage service like Google Drive, or store it on an external drive or USB stick.  In either case, I'd suggest zipping the folder(s) first both to save space and to lessen the chance of corrupting any files.

The Sims 4 base game takes up about 20 GB storage, with packs ranging from negligible in size to maybe 3 GB for a couple of expansions.  If you're seeing more of an impact than that, it's possible you have a second game install somewhere.  Let me know if you need help finding it.

The EA App is relatively small, so removing it doesn't make much of a difference.  But it's also not harmful to do so as long as you remember to reinstall it when needed.

@dreamystarbi  I would suggest installing Everything, from VoidTools, which is a free and highly-efficient search tool, much better than the built-in Windows search.  This will speed up the process of looking for a second install, and also give you more confidence that one doesn't exist if you don't find anything.

Launch Everything and search for TS4_x64.  You should see exactly one result, or two if you have a desktop shortcut to it.  If you see multiple results directly inside a Bin folder, please post the full location of each Bin folder, which you can see by expanding the window sideways.

If you only see the one result, look for Delta, which is not exclusive to Sims 4 but may exist when TS4_x64 does not.  If you see multiple Delta results that are directly inside a "The Sims 4" folder, post their locations too.  Finally, please search for __Installer and post multiple results that are somewhere inside a Sims 4 folder, if they exist.
