@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.
Hello,
One again, I am running into the same problem with moving my Documents folder from c:\users\username\OneDrive\Documents to c:\users\username\documents, even in the new account. When I right-clicked on the Documents folder, I don't see any Location tabs (I might have to find a way to get that back). However, I don't know if OneDrive is connected here either (Since I uninstalled it on the first account). And the third suggestion is already there. Now, how do I get the documents folder to get out of OneDrive and into the regular Documents folder?
I think that I will have to find a way to get Location back into Properties. I will do that tomorrow.
@SimSeeker Did you run the Command Prompt command in the new account, and did it tell you Documents is in OneDrive? If so, you didn't create a local account. Local in this sense means not linked to your Microsoft account. No link to your Microsoft account means no OneDrive. Therefore, the presence of OneDrive in the new account means the account isn't local.
And just to reiterate, your computer will still have a Documents folder inside OneDrive. That is not a problem. The problem is if this folder is designated as the Documents directory. You're not trying to move the folder; you're changing what folder Windows uses as the directory. The way to see that is with the Command Prompt command, and the answer will be different in each Windows account.
