Running Sims via Cloud/SSD?

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;My partner plays Sims on her Macbook Pro but the space isn't there now on the laptop with all the space Apple takes for updates. I wondered, is there a way to run Sims either in the Cloud or from an external SSD? If so, is there any instructions on how to set that up so she can play it again.&nbsp;Thanks,B.&nbsp;

Yes:

you can uninstall the game from the Applications folder, or wherever it is installed on the Mac, and install it on the external drive. Change the installation location in EA App &gt; Settings &gt; Download before re-downloading.
you can also store the Electronic Arts &gt; The Sims 4 folder on the external drive and create a symlink to it in the Documents folder. Instructions here - 🛠️ Creating a symlink in macOS to store the Sims 4 folder on an external drive | EA Forums - 11034490&nbsp;
