You've only put "Electronic". The correct name of the folder the game creates is "Electronic Arts".
What is ALEX?
I think it may be a good idea to re-read the instructions again and really pay attention to what you're replacing in the command after you copy and paste it, specifically point 1 in Step 2 - https://bluebellflora.com/saving-your-sims-4-folder-to-an-external-drive/
I'm reluctant to help too much with the symlink because if someone is struggling to enter the initial command correctly it could create further problems further down the line if they want to reverse it or something goes awry. It's a really good idea to fully familiarise yourself with the process and understand exactly what a symlink is, why you're doing it and how to fix it if it goes wrong.

Hello! So the first part of creating the link worked for me as well, but the second step is not working. I copied and pasted it directly and I have done this in the past with success so I’m not sure why it’s not working now

Why did you decide to add the remove command `rm` to the symlink command?
