I just tried to open it again and the Electronic arts folder is still appearing in my documents folder on the computer, as well as not opening still. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Origin has full access, my extended storage if formatted properly. I’m sure it is a simple fix I am missing but I am unsure at this point.
You need to create a symlink to store the Electronic Arts folder anywhere other than in the local Documents folder.
You’ve stated that Origin has access to the external drive, does the game have access to the Documents folder?

thank you so much for the reply, I have heard about making a Symlink for it to find the game, I will try my best to figure out how to do so. As for the game and documents, I am not sure. Is there a way to check that?

I believe the game has access to the documents folder, In my extended storage there is the sims 4 game, the Electronic Arts folder, and the sims 4 packs, including my mods.

Just an update, I think my extended storage may not be formatted correctly. I am currently working on that but having issues. When i got format it, I cannot put in a scheme so I am figuring out why and how to fix it.

Hello another update sorry, I think I have properly formatted the extended storage now, I have it in APFS now. I am confused when it comes to moving the EA folder to my extended storage. I see it says something about USB, I am confused what this is referring too. I am unsure where to type these commands.
