I have a Omen Obelisk Desktop 875-00201zCTO/64bit/ Installed Memory 8GB. It says Memory Slot 8GB Kingston 2666MHZ. My Processor:AMD Ryzen 5 2600 six core 3.40GHZ. System board 84FEoo. I have a D drive with 931GB available. I don't know a lot about PC's so I need help with additional memory. I play The Sims 4 and I downloaded a LOAD of custom content. I am running out of space. Can someone tell me if my system can handle it and what memory do I add? Thank you.

First of all, what is the exact model # of this unit. HP 875-0xxxZ (you have too many numbers).
You have a glaring difference of definitions.
1) Downloads are stored on the hard drive. The D drive is void of any files, you never saved anything to it.
How to fix that: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/change-default-save-location-windows-10
2) Memory is called memory, or RAM. It is not stored, it is not saved.
HP Envy 8 5010 Tablet
(2) HP DV7t i7 3160QM 2.3Ghz 8GB
Printer -- HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 Legal
Custom Asus Z97D, I7-4790k, 16GB RAM, WIN10 Pro 64bit, ZOTAC GTX1080 AMP Extreme 3 fan 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD, Asus PB287 4k monitor, Rosewill Blackhawk case and 750W OCZ PSU.

To expand on the excellent advice that @wb2001 already gave you ... you are confusing MEMORY with DISK SPACE -- they are not the same. The MEMORY is the 8GB you mentioned; the DISK SPACE is what you are running out of on the C drive.
You installed to the C drive, which is done by default, and that is why you are running out of DISK SPACE.
You can not MOVE an existing application from C to D, so instead, you would need to follow the directions that @wb2001 provided and reinstall to the D drive. That will free up considerable DISK SPACE on the C drive.
