@BluebellfloraI have followed the link. I am able to access the hard drive through origin. The hard drive is empty and there are none of the folders mentioned.
Origin can locate the hard drive and has access, so I am able to download the game onto it. I was unsure whether there needs to be these folders before I install the game?

What folders? You don’t need to create a folder on the external although you can if you like.

- 3 years ago@Bluebellflora oh sorry. The post suggested I would see four folders - library, applications etc.
I have managed to download game onto the hard drive now. And I can see the game and a folder for packs.
Are you able to help with moving the EA folder/ saves/ mods onto the hard drive?- Bluebellflora3 years agoHero+@devgriff98

@BluebellfloraWhen following the steps to move the Electronic Arts folder, i can see the folder on my external drive, but it still appears in my documents folder on my Mac.
For reference, my external drive is named Drive and I entered the following command into Terminal:
mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts /Volumes/Drive/
