    @breezyeom  Please post a screenshot of the command prompt window so I can see the full file path you're typing.  Please also post the full file path to the Sims 4 user folder on your external, the one you're trying to point the game to.

    @breezyeom  Do you still have an Electronic Arts folder in Documents?  Please make sure you're looking in the local version of Documents, i.e. not the one inside OneDrive.  You can be sure you're looking at the right one by opening This PC > Users > your username > Documents.  If the Electronic Arts folder isn't there, you can make one; just get the name exactly right.
