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.

Hi,
Don't know if you've already solved this. But I recently got an MacBook Pro, and didn't want to take up any memory on the laptop itself. I bought a My Passport for Mac, and it's running great. I haven't really noticed any problems, or lag in loading. I made sure to download Origin to the external first, and it had no problems with that either.
Hopefully this helps.
Hi there! I see you're a MacBook user like me. I no longer have enough space on my MacBook for my game and all my mods and CC so I bought an external hard drive and copied my game files to the hard drive. The issue I'm running into is that I cannot change the path on Origin to use the files on the external. Are you saying you downloaded Origin to the external itself or changed the path? I won't be able to play with the upcoming game update and EP if I can't get this to work. Thanks!
