Disabling Onedrive deleted most of my library because some motherfucker decided to make two identical looking "Pictures" folders in Win11, and make the Onedrive default. I have a (day old) backup, but it's still infuriating. I want my tech to do what I tell it to when I tell it to, none of this automatic "convenience" bullshit.

[cupcakeshakesnake]

Can I just say

I hate auto-syncing services that you have to go through hoops to disable

Microsoft OneDrive, Adobe CC, you know who you are. Fuck you.

[catgirlmurder]

okay so is Microsoft OneDrive just fucking malware? It was enabled without my knowledge and was constantly pushed onto me, and i had to go through THREE FUCKING BACKDOORS to figure out how to even disable the damn thing. IT IS FORCIBLY BACKING UP AL OF MY MEDIA ON MY PC WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT AND IS VERY UNCLEAR ON HOW TO DISABLE IT. THAT CAN ONLY BE DESIGNED FOR EVIL.

[trackingcollar]

after almost a FULL MONTH, i got my game to work :D AND I DIDN'T LOSE MY WOLVES.

if you are having this issue, i still don't fucking know what i did but here's everything i did TODAY.

uninstalled onedrive off my computer (not the issue but now i no longer have onedrive on my computer so this is a win)

move all of my game files around just to see what would change SOMETHING either better or worse, and then put them back if it changes something or breaks it further.

uninstall and reinstall this game about 5 times.

every time i changed even ONE thing, i would relaunch. i probably relaunched 30 times. sorry to my steam friends.

go into the STEAM files (not game files. this is my userdata). find the wolfquest game ID and delete all files related to the ID. not the game itself. THE ID

have to reinstall steam because now it doesnt open.

this made my game uninstall, but reinstalling both steam and the game after this Just Worked.

once the game is open and you probably wont have wolves (i didnt anyways), theyre BACKED UP on the server still if you didnt save over them. you should be able to sync up to the server and retrieve them.

if you have the same issues i did - like i said, i have no real idea which one of these things fixed it. whether or not i really needed to mess with my userdata files or if it was simply just steam itself. so i cannot really help in this case, but everything else was SO unhelpful for me i was beginning to lose my mind.

my computer is mid-tier (not the best, but DEFINITELY not low end) with some graphic card degradation (for a billion reasons, but still not low end) but i still do seem to have problems literally nobody else has. onedrive was a big suspect each time i had similar problems, but i had disabled it previously (before i could delete it off my computer) so it never made sense to me and now it is entirely GONE OFF MY COMPUTER. so if this happens again i will know its a steam issue, and not a onedrive issue.

always follow the guides on the website first, but if thatttt doesn't work then try literally anything and everything because it'll be either the game files or steam itself.

jesus fucking christ. never put me through this miserable hell again wolfquest please i beg you

Thank you so much for answering my questions about how to run them! And so clearly, too!

You're an angel!

I have learning disabilities, so I really have trouble mentally digesting things like manuals and guides.

no worries, I hope it helped!

all in all it's not a difficult process, but there are some troubles people run into occasionally

from what I've seen people ask on the udt server, most importantly just don't install it into your downloads folder, or any folders that are being backed up through stuff like OneDrive or Google Drive or the like, it causes issues down the line

EVIL COMPUTER RANT

i really need an email platform that isn't owned by a predatory massive tech corp. I got an outlook account years ago to get away from gmail / google because having a microsoft email on a google managed phone and apple computer helped prevent any of those 3 from completely taking over my digital life... but now that i have a PC computer, microsoft email and microsoft apps the way it manipulates and steers what I want to do and how I do it is sooo disconcerting and i fucking i hate it. like i do NOT want to save all my files to a cloud that for one is obviously observing what i save and processing information about it (FUCKING ONEDRIVE SENDS NOTIFICATIONS BASED ON FILES THAT WERE SAVED ON A SPECIFIC DATE AND COMPILES IT WITH SIMILAR THEMED ONES AS SOME KIND OF FACEBOOK MEMORY-ESQUE NOSTALGIA FEATURE WHAT) and its soooooooo alarming that my PC will constantly try to force me to change back to the default settings of saving everything to onedrive automatically. after i disable syncing to one drive and change the default file save locations for things like microsoft word from one drive to my local disk IT WILL RANDOMLY CHANGE IT BACK WITHOUT ME ASKING TO. it will try to make me 'back up' (putting everything on onedrive) a part of the updating process, and i avoid updating for as long as i possibly can and it periodically is just like we won't let you do anything more until you update... it seemed like when i have all of my different computer things from a different company it keeps them from being able to automatically sync up without my consent and do creepy data things. with all these apps and devices unable to communicate with each other in these invisible ways it felt more like a computer is a tool i can use for my benefit and give money to company for that value rather than i'm a tool being used by a computer for a corporation's benefit

Onedrive is wild. I disabled it on all my devices, but still it will give me notifications of stories it made for me, after I asked it not to. From 2 years ago, when my love and I explored outdoors. And then without warning shows different photos from one year ago, when I was sexually assaulted.

Thanks, onedrive! I specifically asked for you to not do this 🥰🥰🥰

[beikonsims]

Oh, hey! A new struggle!

Recently my game started to disable custom content by default every time I launch it. It's really really inconvenient, because the game already loads ages with 20gb of cc and now I have to reload it every time, fix the settings that reset to low quality for some reason and re-add the custom cameras I have for the neighbourhood and CAS.

Thing is I didn't change anything. It started happening just randomly now and nothing seems to work. The folders are added as exceptions to the antivirus and onedrive is disabled (I'm on Windows 10). I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do at this point.

Anyone has a similar issue?

🍰EP13 Jacket [Separated]🍰

The cute workout outfit from Growing Together made into a top.

More details and download links below under the cut~

Teen-Elder | Feminine Fashion Choice, Feminine Frame Only | All Occults| 16 swatches | Average polycount, all LODs | Disabled for Random and Situation | Tops–>Sweaters or Jackets | Base game-compatible | Custom CAS Thumbnail

⚠Known Issues: When paired with Masculine-framed bottoms, the texture from the jacket bleeds onto the upper hip area of the bottoms. I double-checked the UV maps, but I really couldn't find away to fix it. Well, it wasn't meanT to be a separated top so things tend to get funky, but yeah. I wanted to do a masc-framed version, but I couldn't even find the outfit under Feminine fashion for Masculine framed Sims. I'm not well-versed in converting stuff to the opposite frame. I'm sorry friends. :0(

[ridiculously-over-obsessed]

Just had an absolute heart attack because I've got a massive catalogue of cast pics and so many fics that are partly finished saved on my laptop and therefore saved onto my OneDrive (that I don't know how to disable but at least I can access them on my phone or tablet without having to keep emailing shit back and forth) and I went looking for something super specific to find that OneDrive had just randomly deleted SO MUCH of it???? Like half of my photos/moodboards, various wips and completed fics, all sorts of shit that I need that I definitely did not delete (lowkey kind of a digital hoarder but that's not the point).

I mean thank god they were still in the recycle bin and I could just restore them all and I'm 90% sure that I haven't permanently lost anything but fucking hell that was not what I needed today ddjlkfjgldfkg

Hey so, before I do something that could potentially screw me over, is One Drive dependent on Microsoft Edge to function? Do I need to move all of my files off of One Drive before I uninstall Edge? Or am I safe to uninstall Edge to disable Copilot?

Microsoft *recommends* you use Edge with OneDrive, but to the best of my current knowledge, OneDrive is not reliant on any of Edge's functions and processes to work. Removing Edge will break any desktop widgets such as Weather, News etc.

Error Codes 12 and 16.

Error Codes can happen when the save file is too big, or the device system has unavailable resources to continue the gameplay. Below we're sharing a few tips to help prevent these Error Codes.

Turn off unnecessary programs through Task Manager. Extra programs eat up the memory the game needs to run.

In-game, always make sure to use Save As, instead of just Save or Save and Quit. Saver is a handy mod that pops up every 30 minutes by default, reminding you to save under a new name. Make sure to save from Map View.

Keep very few files in your Saves folder. Our suggestion is to keep only one or two needed ones.

Regul Save Cleaner to clean up your save files.

Reduce the graphic options in-game.

Reduce gaming time - play for up to two hours. Fully close the game. Remove unnecessary items (generated cache files and Save files except the last one made). Start your game again. This should prevent issues like memory leak.

For Error Code 16, make sure to get Porter to pack up your family, their house and move to a new town for a fresh start.

Notes by SimsPlayer:

–Here's a few more tips to consider: –Check Online Storage: Uninstall, disable or pause syncing with any services you normally use, such as OneDrive, Google Drive or otherwise. These services move your game files from \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 to where your game can't see them anymore. And can cause issues like what you've shown. –Before doing anything with OneDrive or GoogleDrive, if you have Sims 3 files there, copy them back to the C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts folder. Then turn off, disable or uninstall the service. This way the game will be able to access your Sims 3 files again and won't move them. –Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive: (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/turn-off-disable-or-uninstall-onedrive-f32a17ce-3336-40fe-9c38-6efb09f944b0) –Ensure Antivirus or security software is not blocking the game/EA App. Add an exclusion to Windows Security: (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26) –Delete the files out of the CurrentGame.sims3 folder. (\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\CurrentGame.sims3) if there are any. If files are left in this folder after a crash it will cause continued loading/saving issues. –Move most of your Save-games out of the Saves folder. (Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves) Either delete them, or move them onto a folder on your desktop or usb key. Reason being having too many save-games in your Saves folder can cause saving issues.

How to Speed Up Your Windows 11 PC

1. Manage autostart programs-disable unnecessary startup program.

Here is how to stop a program from starting automatically

Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Apps  > Startup .In the Startup Apps area, find the program you want to stop from starting automatically and set it to Off.

2. Clear memory via disk cleanup

To delete temporary files:

In the search box on the taskbar, type disk cleanup, and select Disk Cleanup from the list of results.

Select the drive you want to clean up, and then select OK.

Under Files to delete, select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.

Select OK.

If you need to free up more space, you can also delete system files:

In Disk Cleanup, select Clean up system files.

Select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.

Select OK.

3. Uninstall obsolete programs

Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Apps.

Find the programs you don’t need, click on it and then select “uninstall”

4.  Turn off shadows, animations, and visual effects

In the Windows 11 search box, type sysdm.cpl, press Enter, and then click the sysdm.cpl icon. That launches the Control Panel’s System Properties dialog box. Click the Advanced tab and click Settings in the Performance section. That brings you to the Performance Options dialog box. (Make sure you’re on the Visual Effects tab of the dialog box.) You’ll see a varied list of animations and special effects.

These are the animations and special effects you’ll probably want to turn off, because they have the greatest effect on system performance:

Animate controls and elements inside windows

Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing

Animations in the taskbar

Fade or slide menus into view

Fade or slide ToolTips into view

Fade out menu items after clicking

Show shadows under windows

However, it’s a lot easier to just select the Adjust for best performance option at the top of the screen and click OK. Windows 11 will then turn off the effects that slow down your system.

5. Turn off background apps

Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Apps .

Scroll to the entry of the background app you wish to adjust settings for.

Click on the three-dot icon and then on “Advanced options”.

In the “Background apps permissions” section, select “Never”.

6. Turn off app notifications

Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > System> Notifications, and move the slider to “Off”.

7. Make sure you have the latest updates for Windows and device driver

Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Windows Update  > Check for updates.

Select the updates you want to install, then select Install.

Restart your PC and see if it seems to run better.

8. Check for low disk space and free up space

You may improve performance if you free some disk space on your PC.

To check for low disk space

Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > System  > Storage . Open Storage settings

Your drives will be listed in the Storage area. Note the amount of free space and total size for each drive.

9. Pause OneDrive Syncing

On the taskbar, look for OneDrive  near the notification area.

Select OneDrive  > Help & Settings  > Pause syncing,and then choose how long you want to pause syncing your files.

10.  Check for and remove viruses and malware

Running a system scan to find viruses and malware. If you’ve already installed a security suite such as Norton Security or McAfee LiveSafe, you can use that. Windows 11’s built-in anti-malware app, Windows Defender, also does a great job. 

Just type Windows Defender in the search box, press Enter, and click Scan Now. Windows Defender will look for malware and remove any it finds.

11. Last but not the least , if your have a non-genuine Windows 11 on your computer , please activate it with a genuine Windows 11 Key from the Microsfot partner store keyingo.com
