Hey sorry to bug you again,
Earlier this year you helped me put my Sims 4 on an external hard drive (and I am eternally grateful 🙏). But now it's having troubleshooting problems, saying "Unable to start: the Sims 4 is already running". Do you have any advice? I'm kinda afraid to mess up the symlink and everything.

That error is covered in my guide. It is a permissions issue with the game accessing the Documents folder https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mac/-Creating-a-symlink-in-macOS-to-store-the-Sims-4-folder-on-an/m-p/12329439- lima13bean2 years agoSeasoned Rookie@Bluebellflora Hey so I did did everything it says to on the guide under "Unable to start... The Sims 4 is already running" but I am still getting the error. I checked and double-checked that everything has permission and is mounted properly but I've been having no luck. Is there anything else I could do maybe?
