Re: Re: Sims 4 now saves in Onedrive only?

You are incorrect. Saving a games userfiles (saves, screenshots and other) should by Microsofts recommendation be done in the Documents folder. You do not have to turn off Onedrive unless you do not want your files there.

@jpkarlsen NOK. RoamingAppData & GetTempPath should be used for the temporary and setting files.

Yes temporary files should go to the TEMP folder. Since when has game saves and screenshots been classified as temporary files? You may want to lose your saves each time the TEMP folder is emptied but I'm sure no one else will.

@jpkarlsen The original complaint was, as I myself have experienced, not about the saves, but about many, many temporary files, stored while playing, and removed by game closure. AKA temp files.
You know that. You say so yourself:

The OP mentioned saves and screenshots (many of the latter).
