I want to download the sims 4 update on my extern disk

Hello,

I’ve already transfered the sims to my extern disk but it needs updating since I haven’t played in a long time. I’ve changed the download place in EA to my extern disk already but it still doesn’t do anything and keeps on saying low on disk space while my extern disk has 1TB. How do I change this? Thanks in advance.

  • @jadeboonstrax  The EA App budgets twice the necessary space for updates, so another 20 GB or so in this case.  That should come out of the external drive's space, but if the internal drive is critically low on space, it's possible the App won't be able to cache data as it would normally do.  So please make sure there's at least 10 GB free on C.

    If that doesn't help, clear the App's cache:

    and repair the game: open your EA App game library, click Sims 4, and select Manage > Repair.
