-Example: the Game is 90 GB you must Have 180 GB free space.'
-so basically, sims 4 which is 49 + 49 = 98GB and my local disk D has 138GB so why does it not compress completely?
-and why i cant compress it in local disk F(my hard disk) ?
Read what Kaktor posted on post #2.
I also think that for certain compression methods a free space equivalent to 200% of the game's size is too little.
I believe that in certain cases it will use up to 400% (P.S. Game 50 GB = 200 GB free).
As for your hard drive (Partition F: \) being an external USB hard drive, it may have been partitioned using an unsupported partition method.
It may also be because your USB hard drive is not USB 3.0 or is connected to a USB 2.0 port on the PC.
I don't know if it supported recordings of only 30 Mb/s which is the maximum speed of a USB 2.0.
If you have time and it is possible (If you don't have O.S. installed), completely release the D:\ partition by moving everything to F:\ and then try to compress the same game inside the D:\ partition
