hey could you help me out ? can you write down the order of the steps that you made ? like did you download the sims after you changed the location for Origin games or before that ? Please :)
@stju82
@stju82 7 месяцев назад
@@christyplays777 hey girl, sorry for the late reply, but basically after i wiped my external hard drive and formatted it (following to steps in the tutorial), i opened up origin and changed the game library location like in the video. next, i went ahead and uninstalled origin (moved it to the trash and emptied trash) and did the same for the sims 4 (i didn't mind doing this because i backed up my files on a separate flash drive), then i reinstalled origin and the sims 4 back, except instead of downloading the sims 4 into the applications folder, i made sure to click and drag the application into my external hard drive. i did try doing this for origin too, but it started messing up a few days later so currently: i have origin installed on my MacBook, but the sims 4 game and the electronic arts folder are all on my external hard drive. from there you can proceed with the video tutorial. i would also check out the article by bluebell flora that's linked in the description box i think. because it has some extra details in there just in case you run into some issues. let me know how it goes for you!

Thank you so much for making this tutorial!! It worked perfectly. Most tutorials about this subject are for windows so it helped a lot to find one for mac and that, on top of that, was so clear and easy to understand! Certainly hit the like button and subscribed as well. I have two questions though, one is how do you install the game itself on the external hard drive as well?? I'm afraid of making some mistake and ruining the changes that I made thanks to this. And the second questions is how do I do it if I want to install the Origin DLC Unlocker v1 on the external as well? I'm sorry for asking so much but I have been searching and (once again) most tutorials are for windows.

For those having issues reformatting the disk to APFS, I had to first select "MacOS Extended (Journaled)" and then erase it. Then, under "Edit" in the toolbar at the top of the screen, it gave me the option to "Convert to APFS". Select that and if it makes you select a Scheme, choose "GUID Partition Map". This is what worked for my Samsung SSD, so I'm not sure if it will work for everyone!

Thanks for this! Did you know you could also solve the Symlink problem with spaces by just enclosing the file path name in quotes. Like this: ln -s "/Users/admin/Downloads/Work/Weekly reports" . Just giving you an FYI if you ever want to update in the future, although I think your explanation is good now. The quotes method helps if you have loads of spaces in you files, like I tend to do.

when it got to the "mv ~/Documents/Electronic\ Arts /Volumes/extremessd/" command my terminal said that the permission had been denied. however, when i looked to see if my terminal had access to everything, it said it did. are you able to help with this?

I did all of this exactly as you said and it all worked but my saves and mods do not show up? They are all there in my mods folder and saves folder but when i load the game up they are not there. I even tried replacing them with the copies that i had backed up on my computer. The game is just empty? I’m not sure what to do?

At 5:52 you lost me…”take this” and you pasted something on the note, when did you copy something in order to paste it on the note document?

I was having the same issue. You need to go to settings, security and privacy, full disk access, and check terminal then completely exit terminal and try again.

Am I supposed to replace the EA folder in the hard drive with the one that’s in the iCloud with the arrow. Because when i put the mods in the hard drive EA folder it doesn’t show up, but if i put it in the folder with the black arrow then aren’t I just taking up storage on my mac anyways? Someone Please help! But all in all everything works fine and tysm for this tutorial

The folder on your computer with the black arrow doesn’t take storage. You should be putting everything on your drive

Can you delete the origin application and EA folder on your computer, once you’ve uploaded it to the external hard drive? ❤

The app yes the folder no you gotta keep it there but it doesn't take any space :)

so once everything is moved when you get new cc just add it in your drive EA mod folder? With the simlink EA folder in documents do i delete the mod folder in there or leave it?

Correct you add them to your drive and don’t delete the folder from your documents! It doesn’t take any space

Girl TANK YOU!! I’ve had the game itself installed on my external drive for a long time but I could never find out how to move the EA folder. I was struggling bc I can’t play the sims without CC and I had no space left. You saved my life 😂🙏🏽🩷
