Re: Moving game to a different drive for space (EA Play)

@01d76de9085b847a  What files are on C?  The EA App itself will install into C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts no matter what, but that's not a real problem given how small the app is.  Sims 4 should have installed to E as you selected, but the user content—saves, mods, etc.—will still be in Documents > Electronic Arts no matter what install location you use for the game's program files.  If you want to move the user folder to E, that's a separate process:

You absolutely need to create a new folder on E, NOT called "The Sims 4," into which you'll move your user folder.  It can be E:\Game Data or E:\Sims Stuff or whatever you want, but it cannot be the same folder as you're using for the program files.
