Yes, I missed typed. It's EXTERNAl.
Sorry, I added the program file just before last terminal command. That was fixed. I pulled the file and directory to terminal so I didn't have to worry about typos
In my case, I wanted a hyper to point to Sims files on my external and play Sims from my external. Basically App won't know the external files aren't in the place the hyper link is. I ran out of space on my MacBook after new update. I have already bought the Life and Death expansion pack. This game is getting so huge, I am thinking people will stop adding packs because of lack of room, especially one playing on a Mac. EA needs to make this a few click process.
I tried the instructions above, didn't work.
Here is how I fixed it.
I ended up deleting all game files and EA app. I then installed the EA app to my external, then reinstalling Sims again to my external, then creating the hyper link. So that when I first ran Sims it wouldn't create new game files to default directory. Instead they were created on my external. I might have to do the same thing with CurseForge, It can't find game files even when I manually add game directory on my external.
I say hyper link because they have become interchangeable now days, but technically you are right. Either way I say it, I have been told I am wrong and it is the other one. In this case I will use symbolic.
Yes, I installed game file using the EA App to my external. What the app doesn't do is allow you to play the game from an external directory, That is why I needed the symbolic link.
Amen, Sista!
