@caillou193 Which folder did you redirect to the external drive? Please post a screenshot of the folder that contains the symbolic link, specifically after you've launched the game and it's created a new folder. It would also be helpful to know which instructions you followed; you can just link a guide if you used one.
@caillou193 Yes, please do post a screenshot or two, when you get the chance so I can see what's going on. I'd specifically like to see one that also includes the new folder the game generates when you play.
If for any reason your external drive was temporarily unavailable when starting the game this will happen.
Hello, after re installing origin i actually figured out the problem : for some reasons, if i didnt disconnect before closing origine, it didnt totally close it and that s why the symlink didnt work. Thank you very much for your help 🙂
Hi, I am having this same problem would you mind to explain this a bit more, i would really appreciate it.
@Pebbles1815 What exactly is the issue? Please post screenshots as well: one of the Command Prompt window showing the symlink command you used and the result (you can delete the current symlink to allow a new one to be created), and one of the new Sims 4 folder where you'd expect the symlink to be.
The problem is i created a symbolic link, but when i start the game there is none of my cc, save etc It looks as if i never played sims. The game is ignoring the link i have created. When i close out the game and go to the folder the game is creating a new EA folder.
***I HAVE ATTACHED THE PHOTOS***
@Pebbles1815 The problem is the "- Junction" on the end of the folder name. Remove that so the folder's name is simply "The Sims 4" with no extra characters.
