Sims 4 keeps making whole new game file(s) in C: Drive?

Whats Happening:
First off I start with ALL EA/Sims files are scrubbed from my C:Drive
I redownload the EA app to my D: Drive

Set my download location to my D: Drive

Reinstall sims 4 to my D: Drive (No mods, 1 test Save, just base)

While launching, it somehow makes a whole new folder/files/the whole game on my C:Drive and loads THAT one (from the C:Drive, not the D: Drive Sims 4 with the test save)

  • PC: Lots of space on the D: Drive, no errors there, high end gaming PC, no issues there.
  • How common? 100% of the time.
  • Troubleshooting: Even if I uninstall the C: Drive files and launch as admin direct from the D: Drive, it does it.
    I've hard restart multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled, double checked everything, made new folders on my D: Drive AND my SSD, still does it.

Has anyone run into this issue before? I never saw other people having this issue

I have not played in months also, keeping my game off auto-update ( at least since Sept 2023 according to my last save)
