Thanks. The name of your mounted drive does not match your drive name. Look at the mount point in the Disk Utility screenshot. It should be /Volumes/sims4 but the OS has added a 1 to the end so it is /Volumes/sims4 1. This will be because the drive has not been ejected properly multiple times. To fix this:
/Volumes and hit EnterThe names should now match. If they do go into your Documents folder and trash the symlink you created then redo it.
@Bluebellflora Thank you, it's working! to make sure I'm doing it correctly, is trashing the EA folder in my documents equivalent to trashing the symlink? Because for some reason the terminal isn't allowing me to create a new symlink.
@mfnstargrl
I’m presuming, because you said you had created the symlink, that the Electronic Arts folder in your Documents folder has the little arrow? This is the symlink folder. Trash it.
I’m also presuming that you have the actual Electronic Arts folder on your external drive?
If neither of these are true please explain what you have with screenshots showing the file paths in Finder.
Here's a screenshot of what I see. The folder was created after I started my game and I wasn't sure if that's what I needed to trash
