My Sims 4 won't download onto my micro-SD card
I'm on a Windows laptop with only 57GB, half of which is already taken up by essential files. I've been trying to play the Sims 4 on here for a while now using a Micro-SD card but there's been multiple issues. Right now, the game will download about half way before the SD card ejects itself and the error message 'destination folder does not exist' is displayed. The SD card is 500GB so is definitely big enough to hold the game. I'm trying to download through the EA app and I've already set the destination folder for new games as the SD card but it isn't working. The SD card also seems to be damaged as every time I reinsert it, it asks me to format it meaning I lose any progress I had when downloading the game. Then, it always says there's an issue with the card and that I need to repair it. Is this just an issue with the SD card? Could using a new adapter help? The Micro-SD is brand new and I don't see why it wouldn't work. I know downloading the Sims onto an external device isn't encouraged as the game doesn't run as well, but right now I can't even get it to download onto it. Any tips would be very much appreciated.
@gamersnail369 The SD card might be defective, the adapter might be defective, or the EA App might not like SD cards. I'd suggest trying to install Sims 4 onto a USB stick or an external drive if possible. These have much faster read and write speeds than SD cards; how much faster will depend on the type of drive or USB stick as well as other factors, but you'll definitely see better performance than on any kind of SD card.
