Sims 4 is taking 10 gb to update!!!
For a couple of months now every time there's a new update for the Sims 4, I have to completely uninstall my game then reinstall it because it wants to take 10 gb of my storage which I DON'T have! Ev...

@puzzlezaddictNo I still only have 4 gb. All of my computer's storage space is taken up by the EA app and the sims games. I can't clear anything else. When I check the base game hasn't gone up in size nor has the packs I have. Not sure why it still took away the extra 10 gb it usually doesn't when I uninstall then reinstall.
@beachfossels Try uninstalling just the EA App. Use the free version of Revo Uninstaller so all the hidden files are removed too. The idea here is that the extra space is probably due to some hidden files that you wouldn't be able to find on your own, so let an app do that for you.
If that doesn't help, please let me know how large the Sims 4 install folder is. This is not the folder in Documents > Electronic Arts but rather the one in Program Files > EA Games or wherever you chose to install. You can right-click the folder and select Properties > General to see the overall size.
- @puzzlezaddict I'll try that! Kinda worried though because I finally got sims 3 to work without constantly freezing. ☹️ I checked though and I didn't see a sims folder in program files // ea games, just documents // electronic arts.
@beachfossels You can find the install location through your EA App game library. Click Sims 4, then Manage > View properties, and you'll see the file path there:
- @puzzlezaddict Oh ok! mine is in the documents folder. It's 50 gb, when I uninstalled it, I was at 64 gb & it said it would only take 50 gb so that's why I'm so confused about the extra 10 gb taken.
