Here is a great article explaining how it works in more depth. There is no way round this unless you free up more space on your Mac or store the data externally. Up until that point your Mac has been keeping the files locally as well as in the cloud which is why your game is happily loading all your saved games. If you have been using iCloud Drive to store your Documents folder in the cloud but suddenly the game starts creating new games, this is because your internal storage is very full. If the game cannot locate a Sims 4 folder in that location it will create a new one, resulting in a brand new, clean game when you launch it. The Sims 4 folder contains your saves, tray files (your in-game library), all CC/Mods if you use them, screenshots taken in-game using C, recorded videos, your in-game graphics options, plus a few other files and folders that make your game unique to you.
You want to play on more than one Mac so therefore having your Sims 4 folder on an external thumb drive is more appealing to you.Ĭurrently, and ever since it was launched, the game has only ever looked in the user’s Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder for files to load for your game. You’re running out of disk space on your internal storage and need to move some user data off your Mac. You have a small internal drive on your Mac, typically 128GB or 256GB. I'd assume it would be fine if I was doing it from the control panel but I haven't tried it yet.This gets asked a lot on Answers HQ, how do you store your Sims 4 folder on an external drive and your game recognise it as the default location? You may want to do this for various reasons: And I'm not sure how uninstalling them would go. I did install a patch a few weeks ago (the massive one you find here - I have to update it now I think) but I can't remember if I placed it in my C drive or the E drive with the games. Works fine, game saves fine, my Twallan mods work fine. Then from the installation setup I would just click the respective folder for the game and it would install its files there. So one folder called The Sims 3 (this was for the basegame), another called The Sims 3 Ambitions, another called The Sims 3 Late Night, etc. I went into my E drive, made a folder called Electronic Arts (I don't think you need to, I just did it to make things neater), then I created a folder in that one for each game. Installation is pretty much the same, but when it gets to asking me where I want to install it I choose the manual option. I have it installed on my E drive, though the saves and CC are all on my C drive.
