    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.

Thank you so much omg😭 Origin has decided to install my EPs and other packs on my drive in a folder named "The Sims 4 Packs" and I have attached a ss of what it is doing. Should I be worried? Thank you so much again, I was fully ready to cry because I thought I wouldn't be able to play the sims again.

    Hello........I'm back. So I've run out of storage on my USB drive which is 30GB and I'm gonna buy a new one tomorrow with more storage. Is there a way to transfer my sims game between drives? Am I able to just drag and drop/copy and paste or do I have to do something more complicated? So sorry for bothering you again😭😭
