Re: Moving the game to a different hard drive

So if right now the game is on 5 computers and I uninstall it, it will then be on only 4 and I will be able to install it again?

Also we share one account just for the Sims and use our personal ones for other games, we should be fine.

    Basically yes, but sharing is not allowed in any way.

    Ps.

    You don't have to redownload the content to move it to another harddrive. You can have games spread all over all the harddrives you want.

    How to move your game to another harddrive in Origin:

    1. Save your game backup from "Origin Games\GAME_NAME" somewhere else
    2. Uninstall your game in Origin
    3. Change game installation location in Origin's settings to your new location
    4. Start the game download in the new directory for 2 minutes
    5. Exit Origin
    6. Copy the backup over the to the new directory, overwriting all files
    7. Start Origin again
    8. Look at Origin verifying the files, setting up the changes in the registry and downloading the last couple of files
