@crinrict Sorry I don't think the Ping/@ worked properly in the last one
@SiltionGaming Sorry, I missed your tag.
Are you using the default path to install steam games ? They're usually in steamapps\common. Do you have Sims 4 game files there ?
Do you have any in the Origin_Games folder ?

@crinrict @roberta591 I do not use OneDrive, usually is a pain in the * so I avoid it. Steamapps does in fact have files in it but they are definitely not proper game files I'll upload a screenshot here. the Origin games folder is the one that is completely empty, and no matter how many re-installs I do nothing actually installs.I also do not have a "Repair" option on Origin for Sims 4, straight up does not show up upon right clicking it
@SiltionGaming You don't have to "use" OneDrive. Sometimes a Windows 10 update OneDrive login may be part of the update welcome. I don't use OneDrive but right after an update there is a page that sometimes requests you login to OneDrive. OneDrive relocates folders and files in prep to sync. The operating system (Windows 10) knows this and redirects calls to these folders and files. the problem is the game does not know this and keeps looking in the default location. This problem seems to happen after you start the game THEN enable OneDrive. If the default game folder in the user document game folder is empty something is wrong as this folder is checked every time the game starts and if empty the game creates new data. Another issue I have found is a rights issue. Does your user login have rights to the game folder and files. The Sims games have a complicated file structure and I found out early not to mess with it. I have both Origin and Steam and I have no issues playing the Sims games. With issues between EA and Steam I decided to use Origin for this game.
@roberta591Just looked into my Onedrive folder, can't see anything in there that should cause a problem, I'm gonna completely wipe it from my pc then try again. My issue is I played the game fine for like 2 months (on Steam) and then bam it decided to die. I've owned the game for a long while through Origin, since 2014
- @SiltionGaming It does look like a proper installation. If you go into game, then bin, do you have an exe file there ?
- @crinrict That there is! Yet when i press it nothing actually happens...
