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 rendering on screen. I’ve tried playing on and off my hard drive to ensure that was not the problem. I believe my UI cheats mod is malfunctioning, is this happening to anyone else? Everytime I open my game my better exceptions scans and informs me that there is an issue with my UI mod. My sims don’t show up in the bottom left of the screen and when they do, I can’t see their actions queue or their whims/feelings. When I can see their actions queue it is always full and when I switch from sim to sim they have the same actions and whims.  I’ve included pictures of what it looks like for context. I’ve tried deleting the mod several times but everytime I do, better exceptions still detects it and even when it is deleted my game is still having the same issues. Please please help! I’ve tried everything.

    @matteafn  Do you want to only move the Mods folder, or the entire Electronic Arts folder?  Either way, let's try using the full file path for the symlink rather than the ~ shortcut.  Find the new Mods folder the game created, right-click it, select Get Info, and find its exact file path under Where.  That's the file path you'll use instead of just writing ~/Documents.  For example, the full command might look like this:

    ln -s /Volumes/SIMS/Electronic\ Arts /Users/matteafarfan-narcisse/iCloud\ Drive/Documents

    Double-check the file paths to both folders you're using, and if the symlink doesn't work, please post those full file paths so we can take a look.

    I do want to mention that the alternative here is to dispense with the current setup, that is having no local Documents folder and everything Documents-related automatically stored in your iCloud Drive.  We can help reverse that setup too, if that's what you prefer.  It might be easier too, but that's irrelevant if you want to keep the current setup for other reasons.
