Thanks for explaining, Chry. I actually figured it out a different way. Instead of moving the Sims files over, I moved the My Documents file over, which is overall better seeing as all important documents are saved elsewhere (on a very large network storage).
The problem with my computer is that even though the sims files are small (only 2 Gigs I think) that there's only about 5-10 gigs free. It's relatively small and when those last few gigs fill up with recycle bin and cache and Sims save files, which only takes a few weeks, the entire computer runs slowly and ineffectively. It needs about at least 5 gigs to work properly.
But I got it fixed now in a way that we decided would be better anyways, so it's all good! Thanks for the suggestion, Chry.
