Most games when they install not only put things in the directory for the game, but also add files to the C:\windows and c:\windows\system32 directories. They also add entries into the registry (often several hundred) which all point to the C: location of the game. If you were to simply copy the game from the c drive to the e drive, all of those entries and files would be pointing to the wrong place, and the game would not work.
You will have to reinstall the game from the original cd on to the e drive for it to work.

there's a fashion you may keep your saved video games in case you may desire to reformat/reinstall domicile windows and the sport. it has something to do with going into the sport folder and copying and pasteing the consumer folder of the sport i think of the path could be c:application folder, gamefolder, userfolder. yet you need to somewhat have been given to the boards for the sims and ask or examine the various times requested questions reason i'm not sure you're able to do what i suggested with all video games.

ditto to Mr. Jobs...
When you install, registry entries and such 'point' to the installed software. It's better to make space on your C drive or to reinstall onto your E drive.
Good luck!

Unfortunately it is nearly impossible, it would be better to clear out some space on your C: drive.
