Changing Drives

I have been looking for ways to do this every since I got a new hard-drive.  Anyone know how or could show me where I can get information regarding moving the "my dociments" folder off of C: drive and onto another drive, and still have my game recognize where it and fully function?

ScoobyDoo:
I just had to do this a couple weeks ago, when I got my new system. I installed Sims on this new computer and then copy the old content folder (z:\my documents\ea games\the sims 2) into the new folder (d:\my documents folder\ea games\the sims 2).  Course in a few weeks I'll have to do this all over again when I get a better hard drive.

Diala:
I don't know how well this will work, since I never tried it, but here's something you can attempt:

In the "My Documents" Properties, (right click and choose "Properties" in the My Documents folder) there should be a tab open that says "Target." Select "Move," and create or select a folder which you want to be the new My Documents.

rome_raven:
I managed to move the "My Documents" folder but now Bodyshop will no longer open.  Do I have to move the rest of the game files over to the new drive as well?  And if so, do I just do the same right click-move thing?

Diala:
Hm, this is where my expertise fails. My only advice is to uninstall and reinstall the game onto the new hard drive. Perhaps someone else has better advice. Like I said, I never done this before.
