Thank you for explaining! I managed to successfully move the Electronic Arts folder to my hard drive, but I'm now facing a new problem. When creating the symlink for the Electronic Arts folder, it doesn't say "alias" in my local documents folder as described in the tutorial.
Hi! I was reading the thread to see if I could come to my own resolution but i have to ask now bc of this comment. How did you manage to successfully move your Electronic Arts folder into your hard drive? I've done everything else but this is my current issue I'm running into. Every time I load the game, my mac creates a new electronic arts folder in "documents - local". You also had that same pop up as me that was newly updated and looks different from OP (the 4 folder: applications, library, system, users". I don't have the tab OP was referring to either, I have what you have. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

Moving the Electronic Arts folder to the external drive is a completely separate process to installing the game on the external drive.
Read the opening post on page 1 in this thread for help with storing the Electronic Arts folder on the external drive.
For installing the game on the external read this post for instructions https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Mac-Client-Technical/Solution-Can-t-find-External-Hard-Drive-in-Origin-MAC/m-p/8686088#M138055
