Ok so when I mean transferring my game I mean this. I originally transferred my game to a 128 gn external drive because I lost storage on my computer. Then after a little while, I ended up losing storage on that external drive so I bought a 500 gb one. I was wondering if I could transfer my gabe from the 128 gb external drive to the 500 gb one while keeping all of my mods and everything. I tried making a symlink and everything to the 500 gb one but then I realized since the 128 gb drive wasn’t plugged in and can’t be plugged in at the same time, it wouldn’t work so that’s where I need a solution.

Yes, I understand but my question is really simple.
Are you referring to the game installation as downloaded and launched from EA App? What is the installation location of The Sims 4 game app?
Or are you referring to the Electronic Arts/The Sims 4 folder that contains your user data? You reference Mods but a lot of users are under the mistaken impression that the game installation and their Sims 4 user data folder are one and the same thing when they are completely separate.
Just referring to "The game" is ambiguous.

I’m slightly confused but the installation location of the game is in the new drive. I guess I’m referring to the electronic arts folder and the ea app since I can’t get either running on the new drive since everything is located on the 128 gb drive if that makes since. I’m not that good with tech so I honestly don’t really understand how to explain or how to respond.

EA App - is the client used to enable you to access, download, install and play your EA games. This should be installed on your Mac in the Applications folder.
The Sims 4 game - this is installed wherever you choose to install it as directed in the EA App > Settings > Download.The Sims 4 user data folder - this is the folder that contains your saves, mods, etc. all the user data that makes your game unique to you.
Please tell me where each of the above 3 is currently located.
