Re: How to move EA folder to external hard drive

@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.
