Why do I have 2 installs of the game?

I was clearing up some space on my PC, and for some reason I have 2 Sims 4 in my apps list. Not 2 folders. 2 apps. And one is 72GB???

I just tried launching my game, and the date only updated on the bottom one, not the top. Does that mean I can delete the top one? I don't want to loose any of my saves, but 72gb is a good chunk of storage to get back.

    Hi Cinrict, as I mentioned in my post, these aren't the folders these are 2 separate apps within my PC's app list. I'm not able to get to the folder directory from this list unfortunately. 

    I only have 2 mods installs (BBB and TOOL) and no CC. I checked my saves list and I have 9 save games, although I know one of them is probably quite large as it's my build save

  • Hi purpletiger68621​ 

    can you find out what the path to those are ?

    There's usually 2 folders: The user folder where your saves and mods and stuff are and the installation folder with all the packs.

    If you have lots of saves and lots of cc/mods, that could explain the 72 GB.
