The %UserProfile% part of the file path is shorthand for C:\Users\username, but Windows might be reading the Documents folder in OneDrive instead, or you might have moved the location of Documents elsewhere. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help you can One reason this error happens is because Windows is using a different location for Documents. The files are there for the packs, but I cannot get my saves off the C: drive and onto the D: drive. "The system cannot find the path specified." /sigh I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. For me that's D, so here's how my command looked: MKLINK /J “%UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” "D:\The Sims 4" Here's the point where I got confused, because it just didn't make sense to me, but I followed the directions exactly anyway.Ĭrinrict says to go to the System command and type in MKLINK /J “%UserProfile%\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4” and end that tag with the external drive.
The file there now says "The Sims 4", so now the direct address for the saved game files is D:/ The Sims 4. I removed the The Sims 4 folder from C:\Users\\ Documents\Electronic Arts and pasted it into the D: drive. My game is already there, and I have tried following crinrict's instructions exactly, but it's not working. If anyone can help, I am trying to get my User data (game saves) to my external drive (D drive, for me). It's best to create a folder on the secondary drive first if you haven't already, for example directing the data to D:\Games rather than just D.Įither way, make a backup copy of the Sims 4 user folder before proceeding, just in case.

Your two options here are to redirect all of Documents to the other drive, which is fine for a secondary internal drive but should not be done if the drive is external or to use a symbolic link, which is fine for internal or external drives.
