Hello,
I did what you said in the first suggestion, and when I went to move the Documents from the OneDrive and clicked on Properties, I couldn't find the location tab when I right clicked on it. And the OneDrive is still syncing Sims 4 files, even though I unchecked Documents under backup. Plus, I can't pause sync before I do that because if I do, then the Settings option is greyed out. There is no way around that. I've tried and Microsoft doesn't want anyone to stop sync before they get into Settings.
And once I unlinked OneDrive, I still could not find Location tab in Properties.
As for the second suggestion. I've already tried that many times before you suggested it. I've already changed the Personal Value and that doesn't work either. I am still getting this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Personal REG_SZ C:\Users\midni\OneDrive\Documents
I tried the second suggestion again, and still I cannot find that Location tab in Properties. I think that the reason could be that the folder thought that it moved yesterday but it didn't or something like that. I still don't understand why I had no problems finding that tab yesterday, but I can't today.
A thought just occur. I am not going to try this until tomorrow night. But would it be possible to change the Personal Value on HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folder instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders with %USERPROFILE%\Documents? Or do I start playing Sims 4 in the OneDrive folder (I unlinked and deleted the actual app anyway)? Or should I delete the Documents Folder in c:\users\username\documents and then try and link the one in OneDrive to that?
Also since I have tried these two suggestions many times, are different alternatives in case these don't work?
@SimSeeker Create a new admin Windows account. Make it local, as in, don't link it to your Microsoft account (don't enter your email address). You'll instead be asked to choose some security questions.
Try to play in that new account, and let me know how it goes. Your old data—saves, builds, etc.—won't be available, but that can be addressed later.
Hello,
I did just that. There was an option on New Admin Windows account where there wasy a way that I can bypass adding an email (There was an option to do just that). So I did it. Do I have to log out and redo everything again in terms of installing it?
I just created a new Admin on MIcrosoft. I haven't signed out of the one that I am communicating with you on?
If I have to download everything again, I can start tomorrow.
@SimSeeker You don't need to reinstall anything. Just sign into the new account, open the EA App, and launch Sims 4.
Hello,
I had some trouble with the EA app, but I had to go online for it to repair on the current account. I also had some problems logging into the new account. I thought that I correctly got the password right, but I didn't.
Now I have to get the Documents Folder out of OneDrive. I might have to do that tomorrow night.
