    That's why they aren't loading, because they are on an external drive. The game will only look in Documents > Electronic Arts for a Sims 4 folder containing saves etc. If it cannot find one it will recreate the Sims 4 folder (unless you have created a symlink to store the folder on the external and create an alias in the local Electronic Arts folder?).

    Can you move the saves into the local Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder > saves folder, where the new save should be that you created?

    I will try that! I have not had any issues previously, and have been using the seagate for a few months now to save space! I thought I had everything transferred over properly, and even have origin set to know that games are installed and on the drive.
