Hi, I’ve recently invested in a external hard drive to store things on, after going through the whole process, my sims game runs completely fine it’s just that my mods and save files have not shown up. I have noticed if I redownload any mods they will show but is there anyway to retrieve my save files?
Did you create the symlink to store the Sims 4 folder on the external drive (see opening post on page 1)? The game installation and user data folder are not the same.

@BluebellfloraYes, so I went into origin & changed the game library location to my hard drive, & completed the steps in terminal to create the symlink from my docs folder to the hard drive also after formatting it. So now both the save & mod folder aren’t shown when I start sims now, but if I redownload a mod it does show. My icloud drive is also disabled.

@mecitsuj
Check in your local Documents > Electronic Arts folder. I don't think the symlink has created properly so the game has created a new Sims 4 folder internally. Did you check yours looks like the screenshot in my guide?
