All of my files from Sims 4 are saving in Onedrive, but I want them to save on the desktop of my PC. How do I more all my files from Onedrive without deleting any of my saved games, and how do I change the settings so that everything from Sims 4 automatically saves on my desktop and not Onedrive?
@JINXEDFOXY For the saves that aren't showing, try renumbering them to something low, e.g. Slot_00000010.save (make sure the name contains eight digits total). If that doesn't help, remove the saves that are in that particular folder and try the others you found.
I was wondering. When I was playing a particular save I was new to manage worlds. I thought I lost a sim and recovered a couple of games.
For example one of them is 8. I can't find my 9 save file anywhere. I have two 36s one is recovered could that be my missing 37?.
I changed the number to one of my saves (11 to 9 since 9 is no where to be found) to see if that would work. Now I have two of save 16 in the game lol!
No matter what I try I still can't get them to show up in the game.
@JINXEDFOXY If you've renamed the save files and you're absolutely sure they're named correctly, but they still don't show up, I don't know what else to tell you. You can of course keep trying, for example putting only one save in the saves folder and seeing whether it shows up then, but unfortunately, it sounds like some of your saves may not work anymore.
The saves' names inside the game itself are irrelevant here.
That's what I figured. I probably wasn't going to play them again anyway.
Thank you!
It seems I can't cut a break. it's so frustrating. I just downloaded spa day last night and now some of my CCs are gone (they were there last night). I found some in another folder.
MC command center also disappeared. Luckily with the other folders I have I was able to get some of it back. The only thing new I did was download some CCs with TSR Manager.
@JINXEDFOXY I've never used TSR Manager, but perhaps that's moving files around, deleting supposed duplicates, or otherwise interfering. At any rate, this is why it's a good idea to have a backup copy of your critical Sims 4 content, or just the entire user folder. The next time something gets deleted, just grab a copy from the backup.
I'll have to do that. I still have copies from all the moving around I did, but they are not current.
I still want it on my HD and not my SSD drive. I'm not messing around with it anymore lol!
Hi,
So I followed the steps and looked at the libraries section of the File Explorer and it only shows the OneDrive option. The location under properties when I right click Documents under the On This PC shows OneDrive as well. Is there a way to change that? If so, could someone walk me thru it? Do I somehow need to make another library? I basically have run into the game not working because it keeps trying to pull from OneDrive...at least that's what the location path said it was doing when I checked the save route for Screen Captures. None of my save games are available or my Mods after the last update to the game. I can't figure out how to change that location path. I have tried to disable the syncing for the EA related folders with OneDrive and I tried removing them from OneDrive by highlighting and hitting "Delete" but it will show the folder periodically with an error. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling the game and it STILL is trying to load it thru OneDrive. Please help.
Thank you,
Megan
PS-I literally invested over $3000 on an Alienware laptop primarily for this game so I seriously need it to work again.
@m1078744 In your third screenshot, click "Location" to see the location of the Documents folder. If you need further help in changing its location, this tutorial is quite helpful:

Once you do this, I'd recommend disabling (signing out of) OneDrive entirely, at least for now. When you've done so, restart your computer, launch Sims 4, create a new save, and see whether that save lands in the local version of Documents as it now should.
Hi so I downloaded Sims 4 yesterday and i logged onto my mums account and the shortcut was on her screen so i tried to get it off by putting it on onedrive and now its not letting me open sims because it says its been moved idk what to do ive already payed for it
@Hom275 Please repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair. Then try to launch the game by pressing Play in Origin.
