Maybe do a check on how it is downloading. How your pc is working / internet. Maybe it’s the disc struggling?

Glad it worked ^_^

Yes that is where you download it to. :) if it’s on the pc still you’ll have to install to the new location on the external. (Back up saves mods etc incase) ((and you will have to uninstall the old files to move it without issue)) Always make sure it is plugged in before opening ea and that the instal location is selected in app :)

@@gamercharzard hi! i’m a little confused on the backing up mods and saves part along with the uninstalling the old files. could you explain that further please?

TS4: what to do before a New Update! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i32aoqCabsuogLc This video shows how to back up everything. Regarding deleting everything. I mean if you have the game installed already. You will have to uninstall and then reinstall it onto the external hard drive. Why I say to back everything up as it might wipe your sims 4 folder. Once you reinstall you can add everything back x maybe keep the account data file too x

That’s an odd one. Have you made the folder only one folder deep on the hard drive? Have you uninstalled the original? Maybe restart the pc and try again with a fresh go see if it reset?

You’re welcome glad to help :)

Unless you are already logged in then unfortunately it might not work.

So there is more information about the pack and it is a feature!!! Once you do the full souls wishes you can reincarnate! I will make a video going through the post tomorrow. My back won’t allow me today haha

You're most welcome glad to help :)

There is a way. I haven’t done it myself. I might look into for a future video. Sorry I couldn’t help more at the moment

What kind of issues are you having?

Okay so you will have to Change the location to instal the sims 4 onto the external harddrive. If it doesn’t work you may have to uninstall and then reinstall it to the external. Regarding saves, tray folder, mods, cc etc I would copy and paste the folders onto the desktop and copy them back in once you have installed the game fully to the external hard drive. Not to risk any files being replaced or deleted. I would recommend always backing up the save file no matter what. Especially when doing anything major to the game. Such as uninstalling/installing, updating, adding in new mods and cc. And if you have any weird bugs. I back up my save files all the time. Regarding disc I don’t know. As I don’t own any as discs only through the ea app. So I don’t know the rules with that unfortunately unless you add the code to the ea app then it works that way? The location of the sims 4 folder is still located in its usual place. There is a way to change that but I haven’t done that myself. In a future video maybe I could try and show everyone. But I don’t want to risk confusing my game so I’ve left it where it normally is and only moved the ‘games installed’ location to the external to save space. Hope this helped and thanks for watching my video ^_^

@@gamercharzard thank you very much ✌🏻😎

You’re welcome. Let me know if you get stuck and I’ll do my best to help ^^”

@@gamercharzard thank you I do have a question even though it’s late to cancel my order anyway does playing sims 4 in external hard drive slow down game performance? If it’s going to make the game take a while to load I will live with that

No. I have a gaming pc and sometimes it lags but that’s an in game bug. It doesn’t effect the performance. It helps with space on the pc is all :)

When you say move the sims do you mean the game and the folders?

Yes. Poor guy could have made it if he latestee longer. So weird how they rather sleep then get food. I have to admit I was surprised the dog lived. Glad I put down two bowls of food for him. And tbh it latest so long.

You’re welcome x

You would have to follow the steps again but move the location to the C or D drive on your pc. Meaning you will have to do a full reinstall but then its in the new location again

Thought you might have done haha. It’s alright ^_^ missed me struggling against the boss xD

@@gamercharzard nope am watching it back on youtube 🙂

Oh no 😅😂

hey the live might be off tonight or late. Dream the youtuber has a premier of his newest minecraft manhunt i'm going to watch it live :)

Back up your save files and remove mods folder. Delete cache files and try again? Maybe repair the game?

@@gamercharzard

@@aniakrakowiak4613 It might be an issue with your internet speed. Maybe stop trying to install and retry

Sorry no stream tonight. Got to get up super early tomorrow and already so tried .-. Be back next Tuesday promise.

Hey sorry I will be live again as of next Tuesday I’ve had headaches so taking a break from gaming atm. And I honestly forgot yesterday was Tuesday for some reason I kept thinking it was Thursday (/.-)

@@gamercharzard hey dont worry i understand hope you feel better

Honestly can not be sure as they don’t always have a lot of storage. Externals have 1 - 2TB Need a lot of space for the game is all.

I have 512gb

Looked it up I believe atm it’s about 60-70gb (googled. So not 100% accurte) so it should be okay. Recommend having it only for the sims 4. But I haven’t used one before only external so not 100% but by how much space it should be able to have the game on there :) (have to remember to always have it plugged in the same place before playing turning on the pc. Recommend to leave in ^_^ .) hope this helped.

Did you back up anything?

Thank you so much x

Haha it’s alright. Missed craziness. But I will try and get it the reply uploaded today or latest tomorrow :)

mods will be in the original location. Is the folder still on the computer? And have you enabled script in game?

Indeed. Happened I believe when she “spent the weekend” there 0.0

Live ^^

Same. I do prefer the story of the first game but the gameplay mechanics are so fun

Enjoy ^_^ I’ll message you on this comment when I know what day I’ll be streaming :)

I might be the speed of your internet maybe causing the issue? I’m not sure if you could move the folder itself to the new harddrive. Though the folders so big probably have the same issue. Have you moved the external install location to D?

It could even be a space issue try and see how much gb it takes for the game and what is already on the d drive

@@gamercharzard I have, and it's clearly not the speed of the internet because when I choose to download to my C Drive it downloads just fine, still takes a while but that's just because I have all the EPs and GPs and SPs. Plus it's not the size of the external drive, I bought this drive for sims alone and haven't put anything else on it. I think it might be the type of drive that it is. 😔

Oh that’s fair enough about the speed of the internet. Maybe try and move the usb to another port to see if it changes it to another named drive? Like e or f. And try again? Making sure it’s the correct location on the ea app? Strange that it’s not registering

@@gamercharzard ohhhhhh okay so that's something I didn't know! That changing it to a different port changes the type/letter of drive it is? My gaming laptop has I think 3 USB ports so when I get home I'll try that out and give you an update! 😊

I’m glad to help and thank you x

Yes and no. Much better then I was just not 100% thanks for asking. But promise to be live on Tuesday night 8pm ^_^ hope you are well :)

Yes. There is a way to move them too but I’m not 100% on that at the moment and didn’t want to add it in and mess up games. The big game files themselves are now not on the computer but the sims 4 folder with saves and mods are going to be in the same place

Apologises, I meant to make a tweet about it. I’ve been ill this week and had a headache on Tuesday night so decided to get some rest. I will be back next Tuesday 8pm. Sorry again. Follow me on Twitter / X for updates in future as I’ll make sure to comment if I will or won’t be streaming. Hope you have a good week :)

new video should be up today for sims :)

@@gamercharzard can not wait

Yea you might have to unfortunately. But then won’t have to again once installed on the external as I don’t think you can move the folder as it’s too big?

Hahaha no problem I thought you had haha

I bet it is still installed on the pc then and it then redirects to that location to play. You'll have to make sure its not installed on the pc and only on the external harddrive and change the location. And always make sure the external harddrive is plugged in on load up of the ea app :)

It was for when it disappeared on the app :) was a quick fix thing for a short time

Did it not move over?

@@gamercharzardmine is saying folder doesn’t exist when I made a new folder called new game idk what to do 😢

It was indeed XD

yes i understand this was a quick fix video I made when there was no play button on the ea app but this method worked for most people :)

@@gamercharzard ah ok i get it. i thought it was how to start sims without having to use the EA app. i misunderstood the title then.

@@megaplexXxHD yeah no worries. I did make it in a rush at the time as many people had issues. There was no play button and only “buy with ea play” lol

@@gamercharzard looks like I'll just have to pirate it

You’re welcome. Glad it worked for you ^_^

No problem went later then I thought tbh haha

Might be the speed of your network.

Have you tried to contact ea support? Maybe they can confirm it’s you another way and help you change the email on your account?

@@gamercharzard yes but they are not helping, you need special information and even tho it’s my account they deny my submission false (understand it’s for safety reasons) but it’s annoying when it’s your account and you know all the info is correct. Apparently they don’t keep everything so even tho I give them the right stuff they don’t have everything so they keep denying it. It’s so sad that they can’t help people struggling with this and I know I’m not alone. Sad I’ve spent a lot of money on it and time and can’t even use it anymore.

@@olivioa so your email account is deleted or have you forgotten the password? Any way to have it send a new one using your phone or another email at all? Or maybe contact the company your email is attached to?

@@gamercharzard the domain of the email company is shutdown and doesn’t work anymore at all so i can’t login and contact them either, I should have updated it before but it still worked playing on origin but since it did work I never thought about changing, I luckily got in once on ea but they didn’t allow me to even change email lol.

is your game already installed?

@@gamercharzardI have the same issue and yes

@@romanenguetsop9494 you may have to move the folders or uninstall and then repeat the steps here and reinstall to that location

@@gamercharzard it worked!!! Now I’m just gonna try for my mods now

@@romanenguetsop9494 Glad it worked, there is a way to move the folder but I'm not sure how atm. Might try and find out and do a video on it eventually xD

I shall do ^_^

Yeah sorry ^^" I will on tuesday 8pm uk time :)
