That’s what it did at first, it repaired it- which I expected. But then it started downloading again. Not sure why, but I’m redownloading it onto the internal drive this time!
Hello, I also have the same issue for the first time after transferring my game on my external hard drive (using all the great info from this forum, thank you so much!!).
So just to make sure I understood correctly: the hard drive needs to be plugged in before opening Origin to avoid it redownloading the whole thing? Or will it happen everytime? I also have terrible wifi at home sadly, and it takes ages to redownload and I don't want to do this every time I want to play ☹️
Thank you!
Hi! this problem has also been happening to me. I followed all the instructions and have it linked to my hard drive in application settings. I also created a symlink. Unfortunately every time I open sims it redownloads the whole application as well as all of my packs instead of pulling them from my hard drive.
