External Hard Drive Issues
Hi, I have just bought an external hard drive for my MacBook Air to play the sims 4 and I have moved my electronic arts folder over to it and I have rerouted my origin so that the game location is the hard drive but when I open sims 4 none of my mods are loaded in so im guessing its not working, please can someone help? the hard drive I have bought is the Samsung portable ssd t7 one

You have iCloud Drive enabled. See this page for disabling it and what it means to do so https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Saves-CC-Mods-or-Library-items-disappeared/m-p/10242133#M45493
I have to be honest, creating a symlink can be complicated. If you don't fully understand what you are doing, and why, it may be best not to attempt it.
Maybe you should just stick to storing the game on the external drive? That doesn't require any symlinks (second link in post #4).
