How to move EA folder to external hard drive

@kristinlg00  You'll need to use a symbolic link to point the game to the correct location.  Here's how:

Since your secondary drive is external, it's not a good idea to move all of Documents, but the Sims 4 user folder should be fine.  Make sure the user folder, the one with your saves and custom content, is in a different location than the game's program files, so the contents don't get combined.  Just dropping the user folder into a different folder on the external (e.g. D:\Sims\The Sims 4 as the file path) is enough.

So what your saying is. Keep the EA folder in documents section… I’m on Mac btw… get the Sims 4 >mods folders out, move that to the external hard drive ? 

@Agg_J11  For a guide on moving the user folder in macOS, please see the first post of this thread:

If you need more help, please post in that thread.

Anyone running Windows can use the article I linked in my previous post.

Since this thread is somewhat old, I'll lock it here.
