Can't Move My Game or Change Game Location to an External Hard Drive with Origin

    Make sure Origin has Full Disk Access in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy.

OMG ! After nothing has ever worked for me, I can now see my hard drive ^^ What should I do next ? 

I know this message comes a bit late, but thank you for your help 🙂

Edit: Now my games are being saved on / Volumes/(Name of hard drive). Can I now back up my saves, tray, mods etc... and uninstall/install my game without difficulty ?

Can you explain further, I'm not understanding your setup and what you want to achieve.

Have you crested the symlink to store your Electronic Arts of Sims 4 folder on an external drive?

Is your game installed on the external drive?

These are two very different things 🙂
