iiheartmiles I don't have a direct fix for this, but there's a workaround. Install the game to your internal hard drive, temporarily. Close the EA App and kill the EABackgroundService in the Task Manager. Copy the program files (the entire "The Sims 4" folder that contains subfolders like Data, Delta, Game, etc.) to the location you want it on the external. Open the EA App and tell it to "download" the game to that location. If all goes as planned, the App will simply verify the files and complete the process without needing to download any data.
