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.

I disabled icloud drive a while ago. I went through the steps in the link you provided and the optimize mac storage box and desktop and documents folder boxes are already unchecked.

Ok. So the drive is called GAMING HARD, not Gaming Hard:
/Volumes/GAMING HARD/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4
If your drive is formatted as FAT32 you won’t be able to use CC/Mods.
