I see what the problem is. Your command is wrong. it is LN (in lowercase) not "in" at the beginning. It's a common error to make and is why I say to copy/paste in my instructions.

Can you post a screenshot of the contents of the Electronic Arts folder in your Documents folder.

Here are instructions on how to properly take screenshots https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201361

Sorry for three messages in a row, I figured it out and I now have the be electronic arts folder in my documents with the arrow and marked Alias, do I just leave it in the documents or do I move it to my drive?

If the alias is in the Documents folder the symlink has worked.

Ok awesome!! Do I do anything with the Alias folder in my documents? And is there anyway to move that folder so I have space on my Mac?
