Re: Sims 4 save files not loading

@juliaaw0  It sounds like the game isn't reading the folder on D.  You'd have needed to create a symbolic link to get it to look there in the first place, but perhaps the symlink was deleted at some point.  The simple fix is to make a new one:

If you have any trouble with the process, please list the full path to the folder the game is reading, as described here:

    It did not work. The message I got read that the file already exists.

    @juliaaw0  You would need to move or rename the folder for which you're creating the symbolic link.  The symlink cannot be in the same location as a file or folder with exactly the same name.  So in this case, rename the Sims 4 folder, then try again to create the symlink.
