    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.

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!!!

@naye2shy I hope the symlink works. I hate of how small storage is on Macs. But I will never move to PC. I love Macs all the way
