@miminsou Please list the location of your computer's Documents directory, as Windows sees it. Here's how to find it:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
And let me know whether you want OneDrive in the picture at all.
@miminsou Here's how to get rid of OneDrive and also move Documents to the proper location in one go:
You can double-check the result with the same command—the location of Documents should now be C > Users > your username > Documents, with no OneDrive involved. If ending OneDrive backup alone doesn't move Documents to the correct location, you can force the change. Use the registry edit described in the Microsoft article I linked at the end of that section of the guide.
@miminsou No, you want the location to be this:
%USERPROFILE%/Documentos
The %USERPROFILE% is short for C:\Users\your username.
And to be clear, you will still see the other Documents folders, at least the ones you haven't deleted, and that's fine. The idea is not to have a single Documents folder but to designate one of the folders as the proper directory that Windows uses. Sims 4 will use this location as well.
@miminsou Restart your computer and try the registry edit again. Make sure you save the change if asked.
I did that and it looks like it's in the right location in the registry edit, I also changed the location of the folder in properties. But it still says it's in OneDrive.
@miminsou Does Sims 4 work now? If so, is it still trying to use a folder in OneDrive or Public Documents? Please check in-game if you can get that far:

If you still can't open Sims 4, create a new admin Windows account and try playing there. Make it local, as in, don't link it to your Microsoft account.
Yes, the game ended up moving to the right folder by itself after I changed the location and is working perfectly. Thank you so much for your time and patience 😊
