Can you please explain your setup in more detail? You created a symlink to store the Electronic Arts folder on an external drive but changed the folder name?
The game will only load data (saves/tray/mods/settings etc.) from a folder called The Sims 4 within a folder called Electronic Arts within the local User Documents folder. The only way round this is to create a symlink. Any changes in folder names will mean the game recreates a new Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder in the local Documents folder.
Hey so I still have the folder within the electronic arts folder called the sims 4.
When my game initially wouldn't turn on due to error saying Sims already running in background. I changed the name of the alias file electronic arts file and the electronic arts file in my hard drive. For whatever reason this fixed the game to where it would run with no error. But now my saves will not appear. I checked the symlinks and the file paths are correct I believe. I have both the Sims 4 and all of my mods/cc on an external drive. Origin is still on my computer however.
