If you have actually moved any Origin files, please uninstall Origin completely and reinstall it from scratch on your internal drive. It's best to keep Origin itself on the internal drive though, and not usually a problem since it takes up so little space. Installing the program files on your external drive isn't complicated, and maybe you've already done this. Sims 4 will always look for its user data folder in Documents\Electronic Arts, and if no folder is there, it will create another one. There are two separate sets of data: the game's program files (the game itself that gets installed from Origin), and your user data (your saves, mods, custom content, etc.).
If you're okay with that, it's certainly doable. This depends in part on the connection speed of your external, and in part on what type of drive it is, but you will be sacrificing some performance. Thank Just so you know, the game will likely run more slowly on an external drive than it would on an internal drive. I would love to hear your suggestions and give it another go. I tried to manually move Origin to the hard drive, since the Modify option was inaccessible under Add/Remove Programs, but there was an error notice that blocked me.Īs you can tell, I am a little frustrated these solutions aren't working.
Lastly, I read about uninstalling Origin and reinstalling it to the same location as where the game is saved, but when I reinstalled Origin, it did not give me an option on where to store the install. I then read about moving the game by going through My Game Library and right-clicking on the Sims 4 and did that, so I tried that and the same thing happened - the game loaded brand new.

I am attempting to play the Sims 4 from my external hard drive and nothing I have done has worked.įirst, I changed the Cloud Storage Game Library location to match the folder created for the game and when I launched the game it started brand new even though my old saves and mods were in that save location. I have read multiple forums and tried multiple pathways and nothing seems to be working, though it could easily be user error.
