Re: Can't install EA folder in D drive

@LolaLikesC4  You'll need to use a symbolic link to direct Sims 4 to use a folder on D rather than the default Documents > Electronic Arts location.  Here's how:

If you get an error when running the command to create the symlink itself (the one that starts with MKLINK), try using the full file path to the folder rather than %USERPROFILE%.  For example, if your username was Name, the command could look like one of these, depending on whether the original was in OneDrive or not:

MKLINK /J “C:\Users\Name\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “D:\The Sims 4”

MKLINK /J “C:\Users\Name\OneDrive\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “D:\The Sims 4”
