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.
Hello,
Yes, it is the same in the Command Prompt. The EA folder is still in OneDrive, even in the new account.
I had some help in moving the Documents folder from OneDrive to c:\users\username\documents. Which did work out (But I have not tested it on the game yet). What do I do next? Do I copy the mods that I put in the Sims folder in Downloads?
I am also going to repair and reinstall the EA and Sims app just in case. I also have to update two of the many mods that I have (Maybe more since I haven't been playing in a while). Then I have to add the CurseForge app too.
@SimSeeker In the account where the Documents directory is no longer in OneDrive, please try to launch Sims 4, but with no mods or custom content. Let me know how it goes.
You don't need to reinstall the game or the EA App, although it shouldn't do any harm if you have already. The only caveat is that the game should NOT be installed anywhere in Documents.
Hello,
I was just updating my mods. I guess I should take all the mods out just to test it.
@SimSeeker Yes, that would be best.
I did just that and I actually got into the game. But I didn't play it. The ultimate test will be if it works with the mods tomorrow night.
