How to move sims 2 program files folder?

i have sims 2 and most expansions installed on a Windows 10 laptop with 32gb of internal memory.

pretty much i don't have enough space to update my laptop now as the game used up most of my internal memory.

**i already moved the my documents folder so please don't suggest that**

what i want to know is if i can move the sims 2 program files folder, at least temporarily or permanently either or?

  • @iReplenishM67 , You should be able to move the game files a USB thumb drive or other external hard drive storage device. I believe there are people who do play the game fine from an external hard drive. You will still need the disks to play.

    So you're saying I can move the files in the "program files" folder? 

    I know you can move the games save files in "my documents" which I have already done. 

    Also, I don't use the disks.

    I might just try it and see what happens.

    If it doesn't work oh well.

    @iReplenishM67 , you should be able to. And yes, I was talking about the game file. 🙂 You had already said you'd moved the file from your Documents folder. Keep me posted please.
