its an “i” , I changed it to an “L” and it says no such file or directory in terminal.
can you please copy and paste the command you’re entering here again.
Please also open Terminal and copy and paste the following command then hit Enter/Return:
find / -type d -name "*The Sims 4*" 2>/dev/null
After a little while it will return the results of the search. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.

yes, the first one I put in was:
mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts /Volumes/Gaming\ Hard/
This moved my EA folder from documents to my hard drive. Then I used this for step 2:
ln -s /Volumes/Gaming\ Hard/Electronic\ Arts ~/Documents/
using a L in the front. That’s where I keep getting the error message saying there’s no such directory.

Thanks.
What is the difference between “GAMING HARD” and “gaming hard drive”?
You have iCloud Drive enabled. Disable it https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Saves-CC-Mods-or-Library-items-disappeared/m-p/10242133#M45493 store the Documents folder locally then, after you’ve resolved the multiple drives issue, try the symlink again.
Merged into a post from last year where the user was also using iCloud Drive.- 4 years ago
I originally named my external hard drive " Gaming Hard Drive" and had it formatted as Mac OS Journaled. I kept having issues with step two so i moved my files from the hard drive, back to the mac and reformatted it as MS-DOS (FAT32) after reading some older posts that others posted having the same issue. When i changed the formatting on the hard drive it erased the word Drive and is now called Gaming Hard, so i just left it and retried the steps using Gaming Hard as the hard drive name.
