Saves Files Not Reading In Game
@fitronowls Yes, you can make this work, but you need to use a symbolic link to tell Sims 4 where to look for your saves. Here's how:
You've already moved the Sims 4 folder, so you can skip that first step. You will however need to delete or remove the Sims 4 folder that's currently in Documents > Electronic Arts, otherwise Windows won't be able to place the symbolic link there.
If you get a message that Windows cannot find the file path specified, modify the command so that the first part has the exact file path to your user folder instead of just %userprofile%. So the command would look something like this:
MKLINK /J “C:\Users\Fiona Cleary\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “D:\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4”
Please review the guide and your own system's file paths to make sure the command is exactly right. I'm just going by what you've posted. To see the full file path to any file or folder, you can right-click it and select Properties > General, then look for the Location.
If putting %userprofile% in the command does not work, but writing out the full file path does, please let me know. I've had mixed reports about this, with some users not updating me at all, so more information would be extremely helpful.
