Just to be sure, I am moving my Sims 4 game file to users > documents, correct?
@lushifii Are you talking about using the new account? Inside the Users folder, you should see one folder for each username and also a Public folder. You're first moving your saves and other data from your previous account to the Public folder. Then once you're in the new account, you're moving the files from the Public folder to the new account's Documents folder, as in, Users > new username > Docuemnts.
However, please test the game before moving over any content just in case there are any lingering issues.
If you're talking about moving the location of Documents within your existing account, then this has nothing to do with Sims 4, at least not directly. You're telling Windows to use a different folder as the default location of Documents. Sims 4 should also use that folder automatically, although as I said, sometimes it requires uninstalling and reinstalling the game for this change to take effect.
Thanks for the link provided about moving around folders, I’ll try that when I am free to do so! May I ask what is Users folder? Because it appears that I don’t have any particular folder called “users”. Do you recommend testing my game first without moving my documents folder? Or would I still have the same re-occurring issues as before?
@lushifii The Users folder isn't inside Documents, which is what's open in your screenshot. Instead, you need to click This PC, a little further down in the left panel. It's right under OneDrive - Personal.
When you click This PC (not any of the categories under it, just This PC itself), double-click the C drive, then you'll see the Users folder.
When I make this transition, with my folders, will the “X mark” on documents disappear? Would I still have to unsync documents completely with OneDrive?
@lushifii If you don't sign into your Microsoft account when creating the new Windows account, your Microsoft account won't be linked at all, so OneDrive will not be a part of the setup.
