You can install the game on an external drive but not your user data in the Sims 4 folder as the game will always look in Documents > Electronic Arts for the data.

@Bluebellflora Does this mean that you can run the game on the external hard-drive, but keep your saves and CC on your main (internal) drive?

Yes. We've also found a way to store your data on an external drive too, or in the cloud, successfully but the instructions really have to be followed exactly. There is a lot of room for error - https://bluebellflora.com/2020/03/01/if-youre-running-out-of-space-to-play-the-sims-here-are-your-options-for-storing-your-data-externally/- 5 years ago
New to gaming with mods and CC. I never had the storage on my Mac so I went and purchased an external drive. I managed to reinstall everything onto it but for the life of me could not figure out how to get the dam EA folder to stay on the drive instead of documents. I was able to do Symlink. This just saved me from so much frustration thank you!!!
