Mod issues
Hi all! I recently converted my sims 4 game and all mods/cc to an external hard drive to relieve some of the stress on the mac that I play on. I’ve been having issues with the way my game is re...

Hi again!
So I’ve been troubleshooting again for a few days. I did delete my entire mods folder and all my mods are gone and the issue/glitch I was having in game is gone! So it was definitely something with one of my mods. Now the problem I’m having is that my game is not reading the mods folder in my external hard drive, instead it is reading one that my computer keeps recreating on my iCloud. I’ve tried making sure my drive is properly formatted, and making sure the symlinks I’ve created are still correct. I’m not quite sure how to fix this. Thank you for your help!
Note: when I download mods from curseofforge they find their way into the correct mods folder and function in my game but these are the mods that are showing up in my iCloud mods folder even when I delete it. Mods I move into my external hard drive’s mods folder do not register or function in my game.
@matteafn Have you only moved the Mods folder to the external drive, or the entire Sims 4 folder? Let me know where the symlink is and what it's supposed to link to, as in, folder names and file paths. Please also post the full file path the game is reading, as described in the link I posted last time.
I've moved my entire sims 4 and ea folder.The sym link I had created was for my electronic arts folder using bluebellflora's instructions in this post.
/Users/matteafarfan-narcisse/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Screenshots/ - this is the file path my game is reading per the instructions of your last post. Thanks again in advance!
@matteafn If you open Documents, , do you see the symlink or the actual Electronic Arts folder? A symlink will have a little arrow on its icon that a folder does not. Please also make sure you're looking at the correct folder and not the one in iCloud Drive. You can access the local folder by clicking Macintosh HD (or whatever you've renamed your hard disk) in the left panel of a Finder window, then selecting Users > your username > Documents. If you don't see Macintosh HD, click Finder in the upper-left corner of the screen, then Preferences > Sidebar, and check the box next to hard disks.
- @puzzlezaddict Hi! So I am able to access Macintosh HD but when I go into users and my username there is no documents folder. There is a folder for applications, downloads, movies, music, pictures, and public. Also, neither of my electronic arts folders (the one on my hard drive or the one on my computer) have a little arrow on them so I guess that means I set up the sym link improperly?
