keishnow have you created a symlink to store the Sims 4 folder on the external drive or have you installed the game on the external drive, or both? What format is the external drive?
how do I check for symlink , I played my game on MacBook via external hard drive for months after a update in 2024 my mods have not worked I really need help

roxieann19 you don't "check" for a symlink. You either know whether you have created one or not. It is a manual process the user goes through to store the Sims 4 folder, NOT the game installation, on an external drive.

Do you have a solution to mods not working at all and I’m using a external harddrive which had a symlink when the external harddrive was installed to begin with mod worked fine one of the updates made the mods not appear anymore .. so I’m looking for solutions to resolve this problem

"had" as in no more? You now have the Electronic Arts folder in the local Documents folder?
