Game crashes when I try to load mods through an external hard drive.
Because of my laptop's limited space, I have the game itself downloaded on an external hard drive, and I have followed a tutorial to link my mods folder to the same external hard drive as well. I've made sure the main game folder and the mods folder are not combined at all.
In the past, I had the game downloaded through Steam, and this wasn't an issue for awhile, until the game started to crash even if I only had very few mods in the mods folder. After I deleted Sims 4 through Steam, I swapped to the EA app, and the issue still occurred.
I have gone through my mods and deleted anything that could be corrupted or out of date, I have redone the tutorial to link my mods folder multiple times, I've refreshed the cache to my game and even repaired it multiple times as well. I've done a full reset, and nothing works. All script mods have been updated or removed.
The game works fine when there are no mods installed, and the game still works if I don't have the mods folder linked to the external hard drive; mods do show up when the folder isn't linked.
Any help would be really appreciated, as I've been struggling with this for a few months now. Thank you.
