@RedactedXOXO What happens when you try to create the symbolic link? Please post a screenshot of the Command Prompt window showing the command you entered and the result.
In case you haven't seen it, here's a good guide to creating the symlink:
@puzzlezaddictIt typically says command incorrect or syntax incomplete or something about it not being worded correctly if I remember correctly. And typically I have to make sure I use the symbolic link with OneDrive but that doesn't even work
Ill try again and post a screen shot to show you
@RedactedXOXO The syntax error is because the first two quotation marks are the wrong kind. If you look closely, you'll see they're curved rather than straight. You also need to link to the Sims 4 folder on your external drive, not to the folder called SIMS, although the Sims 4 folder can be inside SIMS.
However, if your user folder is in OneDrive, you'll need to modify the command. Here's what you'd write, except with your actual username rather than [username], assuming you want the Sims 4 folder inside SIMS:
MKLINK /J "C:\Users\[username]\OneDrive\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" "D:\SIMS\The Sims 4"
If you'd like to get rid of OneDrive first, here's how:
It says it cannot create a file that already exist, i believe it is because the game itself is downloaded on the external hard drive but not the electronics arts folder, it just creates a new one every time i try to download any type of mod.
Here's what showed up
