External hard drive

★★ Novice

I bought a hard drive for my Windows 11 computer to play Sims 4. I’ve searched tutorials on YouTube for what to do, but none of them work. Whenever it does go through and work, the download on EA just stops at 53%, every time. How can I fix this?

I have a portable harddrive for my Sims4 game and others. (Sims3 doesn't work well this way though and should be installed on your SSD drive.)
Just edit the install path in the EA App, and make a directory to match on your portable HD for the games.

Thank you, so is the download supposed to take a really long time? It keeps freezing.
