Windows 11 user folder is "public"?
@SimmingAgain Where is your Documents directory located? Sims 4 often uses the Public folder when it can't access that user's Documents directory. To find the location, search in Windows for command prompt, open it, and enter this command:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
This will return the location of Documents. If it's in OneDrive, and you disabled OneDrive in a nonstandard (i.e. not anticipated by Windows) way, or it's in some other unusual location, that would explain the problem. Normally, it's best to use the built-in Windows method of moving Documents:
Or this method if you get an error, which is almost always because OneDrive is using the folder:
If neither works, you can force the location to change to what you want by editing your computer's registry:
But please try the other methods first. If you must edit the registry, use the default value of %UserProfile%\Documents, and be very careful not to touch anything else.
