Re: [SIMS 4] Won't proceed past Create a Sim

@SuperShjt  I think OneDrive's sync process is the issue here, and so you'll need to prevent OneDrive from syncing the contents of Documents.  Before doing that, please make a backup copy of the Sims 4 folder and place it somewhere safe, ideally on an external drive.  In a pinch, you can drop it into Downloads—OneDrive doesn't sync that folder.

Once you have a backup copy, you can stop the syncing of Documents:

If you get an error, you may need to pause syncing and cancel the current sync first:
