Re: Sims to an external hard drive from a MacBook Air please?
@sophieamybarclay
Do you want the game transferred or the user data such as saves, or both?
To transfer the game simply drag the Sims 4 app and the Sims 4 packs folder to the external then open Origin > Preferences > Installs & Saves and change the game library location to the external.
To transfer your Sims 4 folder that contains your saves/mods/tray/screenshots and all other user data to the external you need to trick the game into thinking it is still stored locally in the Documents folder - https://bluebellflora.com/2020/03/01/if-youre-running-out-of-space-to-play-the-sims-here-are-your-options-for-storing-your-data-externally/
