Ok so this is the youtube tutorial that I used to help with the transition of everything:

I've attached all of the screenshots that I have. I see do see that the original folder is reading from the "C" drive under the "General" tap but under the "Shortcut" tap, the location states it's the "D" drive.
@SweetesTee24 The location under Shortcut refers to the "target," as in, where the symlink is pointing. It's a good thing that it's pointing to D: that means creating the symlink worked. The symlink itself is on C where the game will look for the Electronic Arts folder.
However, I think the issue here is that the symlink is called "Electronic Arts" but is pointing to a folder called "The Sims 4." The idea here is that the symlink should point to a folder with its same name, whatever that is. So if you want the symlink to be "Electronic Arts," this would be the correct command:
MKLINK /J “%UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts” “D:\Games&Data\Electronic Arts”
or
MKLINK /J “%UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts” “D:\Games&Data\EA\Electronic Arts”
depending on how deeply you want to nest the folders on D. Point is, please delete the symlink and recreate it so that it's pointing to an "Electronic Arts" folder on D.
Alternately, you could have a proper Electronic Arts folder (not a symlink) in Documents and create a symlink for "The Sims 4" inside. Then you could link it to the "The Sims 4" folder on D:
MKLINK /J “%UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “D:\Games&Data\EA\The Sims 4”
Either answer is fine; the important part is that the symlink points to the folder it's supposed to replace.
Will do. Thank you for your help.
