HI @xLEMN11
You can only move the game files to an external folder. The game also creates a user folder in documents but that can't be redirected. So your user data will always be in the hard drive of your partner.
Also running the game from external drives has it's downsides, especially when you remove the drive and it potentially gets a new drive assigned.

The user folders are only created under Documents and can not be moved to an external drive. You can have a copy there for backup purposes but that is all.
- 6 years ago@jpkarlsen Does this mean that you can transfer your old (backed up) save files into the new Documents folder on the internal hard drive, whilst running the game itself on the external drive?

Yes, saves go in the Saves Folder. You also should copy the contents of the Tray folder. Ignore files you are told already exists.

Hi! I copied my sims 4 files onto an external hard drive and then copied the files from the hard drive onto a device that does not support origin (Latest model of touchscreen chromebook) can I open it on a device like this? If so, how do I open it from my files?

Chromebooks are not capable of playing any PC games.
