You can not just move the saves to the external drive. The game only looks in Documents. There is a way to get them to the external drive which involves a symbolic link. Steps to create that has been posted many times.
Try starting a new game. Does that work?

Thank you for your reply.
I didn't quite get that what symlink means when I read the instructions. And EA's own steps were a bit messy.
But when I deleted the save files kn the external drive, the game worked just fine.
