Now when I bring up the launcher, it does not create a new EA folder.

I have been told that I will need to recreate this junction when The Sims 3 has an update, and ironically there is one available now. I will post again after I have installed the new update and checked to make sure that the junction is still working properly.

The new update has been applied and the junction folder is still there. Launching the game also works with no problems! The space on my (C:) drive has also opened up which indicates the files are now being stored properly on the (D:) drive. The problem was with the command prompt and possibly the folder path on the (D:) drive.įor future reference I am writing out the correct way to create a Junction so that the next person who has this problem might find this post in a google search. How to move Sims 3 files to a separate hard drive: (saved games/sims/etc, custom content, downloads, cache, and other files found under C:/Documents>Electronic Arts>Sims 3)ġ.
