My C: drive is too full to add anything else to it or Windows might not work. I have the Sims 3 installed on f: drive which is a partition on a 1.5 Tbyte USB drive that I created for windows to use for games to save space on C:. When I ran the update for the sims it started writting to C:. I had to use [CTRL][ALT][DEL] to stop it. Then the game wouldn't run! I thought I probaley messed up the install so I began uninstalling the game but when I tried to uninstall the base game -after uninstalling the stuff and expansion packs-, I got Install shield error 5006! How do I fix this? Maybe edit the registry? When I get this fixed how do I tell the patches to install to F:?
Solved! Go to Solution.

The patch should now by itself which drive to install to.
I would manually uninstall everything and clean the registery. Then reinstall.

Thanks my sims thank you for your help. They founded a new religion called crinrict! Lol.
That gives me an idea for a new expansion pack called religion. It would have new proffesions such as Religious Zelot, Priest, Monk ect... Your sims could go to church or a temple.
