Moving Sims 4 to External Hard Drive from C Drive with Low Disk Space

As stated, I am trying to move my Sims 4 game on to an external hard drive since my C drive is too small for all of my DLC. I have tried following a few YT videos to move the download location of my games on the EA app, but the app returns a "low disk space" error when I try to download to my D drive with 465GB of space available. How do I avoid this error? Will I have to redownload the app and move that to my D drive as well?

    @dancer6heart  You can't actually move the install location of the App, at least not at the moment.

    For Sims 4, how much space do you have on C?  The App may be trying to cache the download data on C before actually installing on your external.  If you have at least 20 GB free, it may help to download only the base game first, then install the packs afterwards.
