Re: Can’t install Sims 4 expansion pack onto external hard drive

@SavStClaire

You can't install just a pack into a folder, it must be installed to the same location the base game is. Have you checked the install location is still correct in Origin > Preferences > Installs & Saves?

If you are running Catalina, check that Origin has Full Disk Access in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy
