How to move EA folder to external hard drive
Soo I need help. I just redownloaded the sims 4 so I could have it on my external hard drive (d-drive), and I did that without problems, the game run fine, but I have a problem. My CC don't show up...

@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.
