Usually something to the effect of “C:\Users\Name\Documents\Electronic Arts\Sims 4\Mods” Whatever isn’t in use is still safely stored on my external and easy to access. So I want it in my game, I throw it in there. However the folder that my game links to is my “Mods IN Use” folder. So this is my primary mods folder on my external hard drive, very clearly organized. So for me personally I have my folder set up thusly:
Gonna put the benefits of this method as well as all the nitty gritty stuff under the cut. Also, this is based off of my experience using this method and the benefits from using symbolic links may vary from user to user depending on your computer’s specs. I believe it to be possible but not owning a mac, I have no way to confirm this.

I have no idea if this method will work for mac users, however, look into symbolic links.

However hard links actually force your system to believe that those files/folders are in the location of your symbolic link and that’s what we’re focusing on today.Īlso this tutorial is for windows 10 users. Soft links basically act like any other shortcut. So what is this crazy teleportation magic I speak of? They’re called “symbolic links” and they’re like advanced shortcuts to well, link things. This tutorial can also be used if you’d just like to keep your mods literally anywhere else or in a place that’s easier to access as well.
Basically, what I’ll explain in this tutorial is how you can trick your computer into reading all of your mods in your folder while keeping it safely stored on an external hard drive. I did a bunch of research and discovered a solution to this problem.
But at the same time, I’d hate to part with them. I’ve lost so many mods and stuff over the years due to PC failures and I’m tired of having mods bog down my hard drive space and slow down my game. So recently-ish I looked into alternative ways to store my CC.
