🛠️ Creating a symlink in macOS to store the Sims 4 folder on an external drive

@KingFlashGrant

As before, copy and paste the command you are entering into Terminal and the output here.

But…… I have to be honest, creating a symlink is not something the average user does. If you’re struggling now with creating, and understanding it, you will run into serious problems if something goes wrong and you need to undo any erroneous commands you have mistakenly entered, which is easy to do.

Good. That means it has worked, the Electronic Arts folder is now on the external drive and no Electronic Arts folder in the Documents folder.

@KingFlashGrant

Have you opened your game since moving the folder? It is recreated every time you launch the game if there isn't a folder already there.

If it's empty then trash it and do Step 2.

If it's not empty then save any data you want to keep and move it to another location then do step 2 IF the folder containing the data you want your game to load is on the external drive.

I'm not sure there is any further help I can give you now. Follow the steps properly and you'll be fine.

It’s up to you. You have all the instructions you need, I’ve explained in my previous post what you need to do if there is an Electronic Arts folder in the Documents folder.
