Can you play sims 4 with an external hard drive?
I have one on the way, but it won't take a short time, so if possible I would cancel the order if it were not possible to play with an external hard drive. Thanks.

Okay so just to confirm because my laptop is really old and but my partners is new but I don’t want to take up there storage. I can run the game fully off the external not having any saved data on the laptop it’s self?
Hi! Eventually my saved files took up more space than the original application itself. I've managed to transfer my saved files to my external hard drive and have the game save all files to that location, kudos to reddit user melmano: you can look at her post here; her explanation is really clear!
If you're using a Mac, what we're looking at is creating SymLinks - we want our desktop/ laptop to be able to access the folder (Documents > Electronic Arts) on our hard drive as though the folder were on it itself. I followed the instructions here to create it and you may also need this if you're not too familiar with paths. Hope this helps! 🙂
