Re: Ask a

@CMekiThis is all that popped up when I searched "resource.cfg" in my file explorer. So I'm not sure if that's what need to show up or not.

    Yes, this picture is exactly what I needed!
    As you can see, one of the resource.cfg-files is in your OneDrive. That means that your Sims game is using your OneDrive as the game folder and not your documents.

    If you want to, you can move your Mods-folder to your OneDrive. Some people have reported that playing the game via OneDrive can cause problems, but I don't know how common it is, so you can try that if you like using OneDrive. Your option is to either uninstall OneDrive, or turn off OneDrive every time you run the game.

    If you choose to not use OneDrive, please check if all your saves are in your normal Sims 4 folder, otherwise you might want to move the saves from OneDrive to the other folder. This goes for screenshots also if you want to save them, and anything you might have in your Tray-folder (sims and lots in the library).

    Please tell me if something was unclear and needs further explanation!

    Good Luck!

    Sure thing! One last question, if I do disable OneDrive can I go back to using my original resource.cfg file and storing my mods in my documents?

    Yes. You may need to Repair the game in Origin.
    Also note that you don't have to turn off OneDrive entirely. In its settings you can choose which folders are synced. By default Documents and all subfolders are included.

    But isn't the problem here is that the game is using OneDrive, not that OneDrive is syncing the documents folder?

    If OneDrive synced the files that were in the documents-folder, the mods would be synced too and there would not be a problem, right?

    So I'm not sure that solution would work, but I could be wrong.

    Like JP said the answer to your question is yes, just to be clear 🙂

    The game can decide (for reasons unknown) to use the version on OneDrive instead of the local version if OneDrive is active and the Documents

    folder is synced which it is by default. There are two possible solutions if this is not wanted. Turn off OneDrive entirely or exclude Documents from syncing.

    The latter is done in OneDrive Settings Auto Save. For Documents select This PC only.

    Oh you meant it like thaaat!! I get it now lol, stupid me. I though you were talking about her having her "normal" documents folder synced up to OneDrive too and disabling that. Then I was also reading the post in bed at 1 am xD
