@caillou193 Which folder did you redirect to the external drive? Please post a screenshot of the folder that contains the symbolic link, specifically after you've launched the game and it's created a new folder. It would also be helpful to know which instructions you followed; you can just link a guide if you used one.
Hello, i followed this intructions :
https://crinrict.com/blog/2020/02/moving-windows-documents-folder-to-external-drive-via-symbolic-link.html
and redirected them to a folder in my externel drive containing the direct files for the sims 4.
I will post a picture of it when i have access to my computer, but if i click on the symlink file to open it it does open normally the real file. For the new file creating itself, it just appears in the electronic art file beside the symlink.

@caillou193 Yes, please do post a screenshot or two, when you get the chance so I can see what's going on. I'd specifically like to see one that also includes the new folder the game generates when you play.

Hello, after re installing origin i actually figured out the problem : for some reasons, if i didnt disconnect before closing origine, it didnt totally close it and that s why the symlink didnt work. Thank you very much for your help 🙂

If for any reason your external drive was temporarily unavailable when starting the game this will happen.
