This is possible. It is done by setting the HOME environment variable to another directory. Simile will create a directory called 'My Simile files' under this directory, and keep its temporary files there. This change may also affect the behaviour of other programs on your computer. Look at the help on your OS to see how to set the HOME environment variable.
