Store stuff help!

Tootsyim1 · July 2018

Hello! I've recently had to reinstall all of my Sim games. I have 2 hard drives. I was successfully able to get the games themselves to go over to the D drive, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get all of the store content to follow suit. It's going over to the much smaller C drive.

I'm on Windows 7, I think that makes a difference, but HEEEEEELLLLLLP! Please!

Hi,

Changing where TS3 keeps your player data files (including Store content) means changing the default location of the Documents folder itself. Changing the folder's location can only be done at the OS level. More information can be found from the Microsoft website at the following page:

For a perhaps slightly better illustrated version of what Nich is saying,

The goal and the results should be the same, though. Documents remains Documents (or "My Documents") but the entire thing including the TS3 user game folder can be redirected to D.

Thank you both for the help. After fiddling with it all day I successfully redirected the folders and it worked!!

I need to apologize for the delay in my thank you! My husband was hospitalized on the 3rd and I just got him back 2 day ago! (He's napping so this is a good time to thank you both!!)

Tell him we hope he has a speedy recovery.
