Since ORIGIN has been replaced with the EA App for Mac's, is the process the same for creating a symlink? I'd like to move the Mods/CC only and leave the Sims4 on my MacBook.Running OS Sonoma 14.5; would like to move mods to a SanDisk SS 1TB drive. Thanks in advance

    Read the opening post on page 1 of this thread. The game installation is nothing to do with the Sims 4 user data folder therefore whether you're using Origin/EA App is irrelevant for the symlink.
