Hello,
I went through the process of following BlueBellFlora instructions on how to create an symlink in order to store my games files on a USB since I was running out of space on my MacBook Air. All the steps went perfectly but once I opened Sims I wasn't able to load any of my saved games, I was forced to start over. Please help!
Also, when I try to reverse the link through terminal I get this message
'
~ % mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts_bkp
mv: rename /Users/janellejack/Documents/Electronic Arts to /Users/janellejack/Documents/Electronic Arts_bkp: No such file or directory

Is the Electronic Arts folder in your Documents folder showing as an alias? Or is it showing as a normal folder? (Step 2, No. 3 here https://bluebellflora.com/saving-your-sims-4-folder-to-an-external-drive/ )- TriniJanee4 years agoNew Novice@Bluebellflora Shows up as an alias

And are there save files in it? Something has gone awry in the command not only because your saves aren't loading but also because the message you're getting back from Terminal is telling you it doesn't exist.
Can you post a screenshot of the alias showing the file path in the bottom of the Finder window and also the folder you moved to the external, again showing the file path? And a copy/paste of the Terminal commands you used.

I have been having issues with this and I’ve been trying to resolve it all day with no success. I completed step 1 and moved my EA folder to my Hard drive, but step 2 keeps giving me trouble. My hard drive is called “Gaming Hard” and this is what I typed to create the symlink:
In -s /Volumes/Gaming\ Hard/Electronic\ Arts ~/Documents/
What am I doing wrong??? I keep getting an error in terminal saying not found and nothing happens.

Is that the letter I or the letter L at the beginning? If you copied and pasted the command from my instructions it should be an L. It looks like an I to me.- 3 years ago
its an “i” , I changed it to an “L” and it says no such file or directory in terminal.
