Please help me with storage

I have 1TB on my internal hard drive but only 5gb on my iCloud storage i use mods and cc and the only reason i got the 1TB internal hard drive put in my computer was to be able to play with more mods and cc but the iCloud that’s 5gb is almost full it’s like at 70% now which defeats the purpose for me adding in the internal hard drive space…. so my question is is there a way to use my internal drive for mods and cc or do i need to buy the subscription to get more iCloud space instead

    The game will be storing user data locally in the Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder. Why do you think it is in iCloud? Do you have iCloud Drive enabled to sync the Desktop & Documents folder in the cloud and not have very many files in either location?

    @Bluebellflora Hello I’m sorry i honestly don’t understand the question…my mods folder and the things inside is what’s causing it to be full…and i believe my iCloud is synced up whenever i add knew mods and cc it has that loading thing next to the cloud and it says it’s syncing within my mods/electronic arts and sims 4 folder in documents if that makes sense…sorry again I’m not super savvy with computers

    @myaw0rld73  You can find instructions for setting up iCloud Drive in Windows here (scroll down to the Windows computer section):

    https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/set-up-icloud-drive-mm203b05aec8/icloud

    Except you want to disable this, or at least disable sharing for your Documents folder, or Sims 4 folder.  I can't give you exact instructions because I don't know how you've set up iCloud on your PC in the first place or which option is best for you.  Personally, I would disable sharing entirely, but perhaps you have a use for it.  The important thing is that your Sims 4 user folder is excluded.

    If you aren't sure where to look, check out the two other guides linked in that Windows section.  If you still don't know what to do, let me know how you've set up iCloud and whether you have other uses for it.

    Regardless of your preferences, the answer is definitely not to buy more iCloud storage.  That's completely unnecessary.
