Sims 4 is ignoring install location in favor of onedrive's save location

@vik5907  The location where Sims 4 stores user data is independent of the install location.  The user folder is always going to be in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, with Documents being this user's Documents directory.  If that, in turn, is in OneDrive, then that's where the Sims 4 folder will land.

If you want to move your Documents directory outside of OneDrive, that's usually simple:

If you want to redirect the Sims 4 folder to your secondary drive, you can do so with a symbolic link:

However, you may need to write out the full file path to the current Sims 4 folder instead of just %userprofile% as is in the guide.  For example, the command might look like this:

MKLINK /J “C:\Users\someusername\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” “E:\The Sims 4”

Please back up your Sims 4 user data before creating the symlink just in case something goes wrong.  (It shouldn't, but better to be safe than sorry.)  And you'll need to remove the existing Sims 4 folder from the location where you want to place the symlink.  The destination folder can and should be present; I'm talking about the folder in the location the game is currently reading.
