Ok, thanks for clarifying. I wasn't sure what "playing on an external drive meant".
Did the symlink work? Does the Sims 4 or Electronic Arts folder, whichever one you created the symlink for, have the little arrow in the corner in your local Documents folder? Can you confirm whether you created the symlink for the Sims 4 folder or the Electronic Arts folder?

@Bluebellflora Yes the symlink worked, i gave been using it for about a year with no issues. I created the symlink for my electronic arts folder and yes it does have a little black arrow on it.

Thanks, the more info you provide the better 🙂
When you say it's not saving what is happening? Are you getting an error message? Is it crashing? Is it saving but you can't see the saves in the Sims 4 > saves folder? Are you not getting the option to Load Game at the main menu?

Did you try a new Sims 4 folder? As you've created the symlink you need to rename your existing one to force the game to regenerate a new on on the external. You may have a corrupted save using the issue.
