      But at least im saving a little space by the game itself being on the external drive🤷‍♀️

      Try just moving to over like a regular file to your external hard drive. Also make sure you check the location of your sims 4 game.

    when I go to my external hard drive, electronic arts is not there, and when I start up the game it doesn’t give me the option to open a new game, the screen just goes white.

      @@trin8365 After downloading everything to your external hard drive you need to open your game. Your electronics arts folder won’t be in your sims 4 after you first move everything. Make sure your mods and cc are up to date because after the new update my CAS is broken as well. LMK if this doesn’t work
