For anyone who still needs help all you have to do is delete the EA app then repair it. Before you do it make sure you already changed the folder you want your sims to download in to the external hard drive. Then when you repair the EA app your sims file should still be there once you log in you’ll just have to redownload. And all of you add ons will too. Hope this helps! Idk about CC and Mods tho.

Thank you! I did a couple things different. I copied my EA Folder to my External HD and did not delete the EA Folder from my C Drive. The reason was due to the Desktop application not launching without connection to the C Drive. When I downloaded the game directly to my External HD (per your instruction) it worked! To test, I disconnected my External HD Drive and tried to launch game but it refused due to game being disconnected. I did however start from scratch. I deleted Sims last summer after the broken high school pack release but wanted to give it a try again and it works. THANK YOU GIRLY!

this app is horrible; and it is massively inferior to origin. It can't even detect games on the drive like origin could. Also disk usage is so bad it sounds like dres are getting thrashed; so might be time to walk away from EA.

So I followed most of the steps that you did. There was some little technicalities that were a bit different on my end, so I had to figure some stuff out on my own. The good news is that I was able to transfer the EA App + Sims onto my D Drive. The bad news is, no matter what I do, it is not picking up any of my saves + mods that I have copied and pasted over into the folders on the D drive... even stuff I made on the gallery is gone :/

(still dont really know how that works lol)

Hi kelsey stroud, Thanks for taking the time out to watch my video! If your mods are not showing up or when you open your game it creates a new folder, it's because they are not linked correctly. Keep in mind, The Sims 4 Game can only read from your C: Drive. You you would have to add mods/cc to your external hard drive and then link them to your C: Drive using the Link Shell extension. Here's the link for the link shell extension download: schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html. Most people use this method when they are running out of storage space on their PC but they want to download more mods/cc. This method allows you to do so. Let me know if this helps!! 😊

Hi THaefs Makeup, Thanks for taking the time out to watch my video! Yes, you can download the game directly to your external hard drive. Keep in mind, The Sims 4 Game can only read mods/cc from your C: Drive. You you would still have to add mods/cc to your external hard drive and then link them to your C: Drive using the Link Shell extension. Here's the link for the link shell extension download: schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html. * FYI: If you decided to download your game directly to the external hard drive you will need to be plugged in every time you decide to play. If you want to unplug it, just be sure you exit your game first. Most people use this method when they are running out of storage space on their PC but they want to download more mods/cc. This method allows you to do so. Let me know if this helps!! 😊

Hi! I'm not sure what I did wrong...I've set up the folders for the ea app and named them thusly inside my external hard drive. I downloaded the ea app, customized it to my external drive as you said. However, when I go to open my c drive, program files...there is an Electronic Arts folder but it's full. It has all the files followed by EA desktop folders and 325mb worth files pertaining to ea...not sure what else to do...I've tried twice. It's not installing on the external drive even though i've changed it to do that in the specific created folders that you said. It automatically installs inside my program files while my created folders remain empty....help please?

Hi Rena Harris, Thanks for taking the time out to watch my video! While I would love to be able to tell you exactly why this is happening and give you a step by step of how to fix this issue, it would be impossible to do so without going in manually to see what may have happened. I do offer appointments on my website for situations such as this one if I can't quite pinpoint what has actually happened. For a further diagnosis, feel free to book a private appointment with me at officiallyzy.square.site/ 😊

When you put the apps and game over on your external drive, does it still generate a folder in the C drive documents? Do we do the hard shell link from there? When I tried to do the junction link, it generated a new game folder separate from the link folder that loaded up a blank-ish copy of it. It wasn't linked and it ate up some space. Not as much but is that normal? Because then I had 2 EA folders in my c drive. And it didn't read the junction folder.

Hi The Lord Chaseth Me Down, Thanks for taking the time out to watch my video! If your mods are not showing up or when you open your game it creates a new folder, it's because they are not linked correctly. Keep in mind, The Sims 4 Game can only read from your C: Drive. You you would have to add mods/cc to your external hard drive and then link them to your C: Drive using the Link Shell extension. Here's the link for the link shell extension download: schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html. Most people use this method when they are running out of storage space on their PC but they want to download more mods/cc. This method allows you to do so. Let me know if this helps!! 😊

Hi! Just watched and completed all steps until the bit where it doesn’t allow you to change the file save location, in regards to needing to update the base game, does the same steps apply, cause nothing is working for me, I don’t have enough space on my C drive to update the game and can’t change the download location to my Harddrive 😭😅

So it didn’t work for me either ! I figured out that I was doing the tiniest thing wrong. When you’re in your c drive, instead of left clicking(regular click) and dragging it to your external drive, you need to right click it, so it will pop up an option to either move it or copy it, you need to move it, and then after I did that it automatically changed to my external drive in the EA app and now all my game add ons download to my sims in my external drive.
