You need to create a symlink for the game to successfully access the Sims 4 folder on an external drive https://bluebellflora.com/saving-your-sims-4-folder-to-an-external-drive/
If you follow the instructions carefully, reading through them before even attempting the symlink so you properly understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how to reverse it, you'll be fine.

So I download origin, change the SIMS download settings in origin to the hard drive to download SIMS then I can do the symlink?
When I goto make the Alias electronic arts folder alias and it creates but as an Electronic Arts document alias, like it makes an alias but it has a white rectangle instead of the blue folder.
Another question is do I have to put the origin application into the external hard drive?

I believe I have figured it out, had to do with origin and how it was uninstalled, I will run it and lyk of any issues
