why do i have to download sims every time

★ Novice

i just really want to play once in a while. I moved my game to my external HDD and everytime i want to play, Origin asks me to download the game again. I have done it 3 times already. Using my HDD is the only way I can play because it takes too much space on my laptop. is this hell?

@RoxyPolemica

The path to the Game Library location in Origin is correct? If you are running Catalina have you enabled Full Disk Access for Origin in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy?

You need to have the HDD connected before trying to start the game and you must make sure that Windows assigned the same driveletter to it.
