communiscats There are always going to be two Sims 4 folders: one that contains the game's program files and one that contains user data. You can install the program files wherever you want, but for the user folder, the game will always look for it in Documents > Electronic Arts. If you want that on the external drive too, you'll need to create a symbolic link. Here's how:
Please do NOT combine the program files and the user folder. If you need to, create a new folder for one or both so they remain separate. Other than that, you can organize things however you want.
If you get an error when creating the symlink, please post a screenshot of the Command Prompt window showing the command you used and the error it returned.
Hi!
I have already tried to create a symbolic link before and I'm also aware that there are always going to have 2 folders and they have to remain separated. But I'm still having problems creating the symbolic link, here's a screenshot of the error I got.
The first error says: 'That the system couldn't find the specified path.'
The second says: '/J' isn't recognized as an internal command, or external, an operable program or a batch file.'
At this point I really don't know what I can do anymore because I have tried basically everything already and nothing worked. If you have anymore tips or things I can try.
