why is my sims4 folder is EA games folder not electronic arts

Things are changing. Origin is a 32 bit app and Microsoft Windows is going to stop support for 32 bit code in the near future (or so they say). Users will HAVE to use the EA app to access there accounts. The file folder you are probably looking for is in the Windows logged in user - documents - Electronic Arts folder. This is the default place the game will create the user files upon the first time the game successfuly starts. Now here comes the problem - if you are using onedrive Windows (not the game) will move certain files in the user documents folder to the user onedrive folder to sync these files to the Microsoft cloud. Therefore the game will still write to the user documents folder but those files will be redirected to the user onedrive folder and this is where you should find the files you are looking for. I don't use onedrive as I have a NAS (network attached storage) for network file storage. The only good thing that onedrive is good for is if and when you have to do a reinstall of your Windows operating system - which hopefully you should never have to do. hth
