Hello everyone!
I have this huge problem that has bothered me for quite some time now. Basically my Sims 3 folder is stored in documents > Electronic Arts on my c drive. Since my c drive only has space for 109 GB, this takes up a considerable amount, and even after countless efforts to clean up my drive, it has only left me with 15 GB. I have windows 8.1 and I finally got the courage to try and install windows 10, but it seems to fail, and I have reason to believe that it is because of my disc space.
I need help, please. I love this game but I do not know how to move it. I do not want to uninstall it, but it would be stupid to reset the entire computer over a single game, but it feels like I am running out of options. Please help me out.

The game doesn't really care where your TS3 user game folder is physically, as long as it can find it through the system defined Documents directory.
Here are some illustrated instructions on how to do that. Forgive the "dummies" website name, but they do offer some very good tutorials over there like this one. It's for Win 10, but the instructions for Win 8.1 shouldn't really be very different.
Edit: Okay, just in case here are the Win 8.1 specific illustrated instructions.

The problem is, I have it on d/drive already, but the documents and all of that are still stuck in c/drive
And yes, the Origin trick is for the installation of the program files, which you already have taken care of. Not the user game folder.

So I should just create a folder on e drive called ''E :\Users\(your user name)\Documents'' and send my existing document library there? Basically meaning I will have to create a user folder on the drive as well?
Otherwise, this really shouldn't be all that complicated. I must be missing something here.

You might want to check for and remove unnecessary Restore Points and run Disk Cleanup to see if either one manages to kick up more space.

And again, you may want to look up or get some help with checking out how many Restore Points you have. Those can take up a lot of space, or dozens of GB anyway. Personally I run with System Restore totally shut off because professionally I've found that malware can hide in the Restore Points. Different users' experiences with them will vary.
