Installing Sims 3 To D: Drive
Hello all, I have been searching for answers to my problems everywhere, I hope someone here can help me. I have a computer with a second drive ( D: Drive) I want to install my sims 3 game to it and not to C: drive. My D: Drive has absolutely nothing on it at all but 291gb of free space. It has no files on it or nothing. I want to use that drive to play the sims on it but I can't seem to do it properly if it can even be done. I tried to install it on D: drive. It seemed to work except I could not download my custom content from the sims 3 site. I looked in program files on c: drive and saw a EA folder had somehow installed even after I directed the download to D: drive. It was the folder that holds the saved games/sims/CC. I really want to find out if what I want to do can be done or not, and if so how do I do it? I have a vista home premium edition if that helps.

First up, saved games, sims, and CC are not stored in the same folder. What's the path of this folder?

You say you can't download stuff from the sims 3 site - why not? What goes wrong?

On a side note, if you're going to use the Exchange for downloading content, I suggest you use a testing folder for new content until you know it works, so that when you download something that crashes your game it's not such a pain to root it out.

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.
