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.

How should i format the hard drive so i can use CC/Mods? That was the only reason i got the hard drive is to store those. LoL! I only changed the formatting so that I can move my origin game library location to the hard drive.

    It’s all clearly explained in the instructions. It even says at the beginning to not format as FAT32 🙂 Origin doesn’t need it to be FAT32 formatted either.
