Folders are different since installing game on external hard drive
I have just uninstalled my game from my laptop to an external hard drive. The game launches completely fine and I have enabled mods. The issue I am having is that the folders are unrecognisable since installing the game on an external hard drive. There are loads more folders to start with and they are all called things like 'GP' or 'EP' or 'SP' followed by numbers. There is also a data, delta, and _Installer folder. I have created a new save on the new game to see if this made a 'saves' folder appear (as I wanted to move my old saves to the external hard drive) but there isn't one. I tried to just add the old folder, but this didn't achieve anything. The same has happened with with my mods folder, one hasn't appeared so I'm not able to add any mods or custom content to my game. Do you know why this has happened/what I can do to fix this? I have attached a screenshot of what the folders look like if this helps! Thank you :)
babyegg1 Your screenshot shows the game's program files, as in, what the EA App installs. Your saves, mods, etc. go in the user folder, which is always in Documents > Electronic Arts. In case it helps, here's how to find it:

You can leave the folder where it is, but if you'd prefer to move it to the external, here's how:
The folder can be anywhere on the exteral except for in the same location as the program files. Combining these folders can and will break things.
If you need help with the process, please list the location where you'd like the user folder as well as the location the game is reading (first link).
