Gameplay Won't Load

Hi,

So I recently re-downloaded The Sims onto an external hard drive. Initially I just had the saves on the hard drive but I had to move the app onto the hard drive as well because I use this laptop for school work and I was running out of disk space.

I think I did something wrong when re-installing the app onto the hard drive. Here is what I did:

1. Uninstall The Sims

2. Change the game library location to '/Volumes/HardDrive'

3. Re-install The Sims onto the hard drive

When I run the game it gets me onto the main screen and sometimes onto the world, but never to actual gameplay it just gets stuck on the loading screen. I have left my laptop alone for a few hours to see if it would load but it stays on the loading screen. Please let me know if anyone can help.

Thanks!
