Create Junction between "C:/User>Documents>Electronic Arts>Sims 3" and multiple other path attempts on (D:) drive such as "D:/Sims 3 Games" "D:/User/Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 3" > using cmd command prompt: cd C:\Users\\Documents\Electronic Arts mklink /D "C:\Users\\Documents\Electronic Arts" "D:\Sims 3 Games" or mklink /D "C:\Users\\Documents\Electronic Arts" "D:\Users\\Documents\Electronic Arts" > or some similar command as the above, both with leaving the original EA\Sims 3 files on the (C:) drive and removing them, and without creating the destination folder on the (D:) drive or also pre-creating it on (D:) before executing the command prompt(s). Move "User>Documents>Electronic Arts>Sims 3" files to (D:) drive and create shortcut to the same files on the (D:) drive under path "C:/User>Documents>Electronic Arts>Sims 3" (attempted leaving the original files on (C:) and creating the shortcut on (D:), and also removing original files from (C:) and creating (D:) shortcut) 3. cut and paste "User>Documents>Electronic Arts>Sims 3" or "Electronic Arts>Sims 3" to (D:) drive (yes, I've really resorted to trying this) 2. Here is a list of everything I have tried: 1. I have tried moving the files, creating a shortcut, and creating a junction, but each time when I open the launcher the game just generates a new "User>Documents>Electronic Arts>Sims 3" folder on the (C:) drive and negates any other pre-existing /EA/Sims 3 folder. It is for this reason that I have made many unsuccessful attempts to move my Sims 3 files to my much larger (D:) drive.

I am a heavy mod/cc user, so I simply do not have enough room on the (C:) drive for all of my saved/downloaded content. Every time I try to launch The Sims 3, the launcher automatically generates a new "C:\User>Documents>Electronic Arts>Sims 3" path in my documents folder on the (C:) drive. My Sims 3 games (and their exe files) are located on the (D:) drive. My build includes a small SSD (C:) intended only for my operating system, and a large 2TB HDD (D:) for all other things.

I recently purchased a new pc, and I've since had nothing but problems from the Sims 3.
