Save Game To Different Location

Question

Hi all,I've got the Sims 4 Legacy Edition on my Mac, which is running on OS Sierra 10.12.6.The game is saving all of its contents to my Documents drive, which I have synced to iCloud - obviously this is hogging *huge* amounts of my iCloud storage limit, so I want to be able to get the game files to save to a different location. Is this possible?I know on a Mac you can add '.nosync' to the end of the folder name to prevent it from uploading to the cloud but every single time I do this, the game automatically creates a new Sims 4 folder which then gets synced to the iCloud with all new files which only makes matters worse.There has to be a way to change this, surely? This is driving me nuts!!Any help would be appreciated,Andy

The only other way is to create a symlink to an external drive or other cloud device - 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/

Oh, for God sake. That's a bit of a limitation!Oh well, I'm not going to buy an external drive to accommodate a game I only casually play, so I'll probably just can the game.
