Sims 4 if

Hi, I recently bought a new computer and redownloaded the sims 4 through origin. Now, the sims 4 is trying to sync and update files. It took an entire day to get through 1 GB of 17.4GB. I feel so frustrated and am unsure if my newly purchased computer is the problem. Would some magic human being be able to help me? Would the download process be quicker if I were to purchase the sims 4 from brand new rather than trying to restore everything I had previously? I feel desperate.. lol

    @LilBel913  If you click the > icons next to Documents and Documents ONEDRIVE, to expand these categories, what do you see?

    You can of course get rid of OneDrive, or move the Documents directory out of the OneDrive folder, and not lose any data.  You just have to be careful and deliberate about the process.  Sims 4 will try to use whatever Windows says is the Documents directory.  Your computer has several Documents folders, but only one is designated as the directory, and this is a value you can change the "normal" way or by force if necessary.  For all this, please see the "I want to get rid of OneDrive" section of this guide:

    When I try to click the > icons next to Documents it has the same thing for all of the folders, a white checked box that I'm unable to click. I even tried expanding the EA folder but same for all those folders too. And okay, I will check that link soon and get back to you, thank you. I do want to learn how to possibly change the documents directory but I might wait until my semester ends just incase something goes wrong. Thank you for your response!
