(Space between D and : because apparently together is *sigh* hate emoticons. If it gets removed while moving for some reason, you can just put it right back in. !! Make sure to back up The Sims 4 documents folder (It's in Electronic Arts.should be common sense, but just making sure) to a safe location so that you don't lose your saves, mods, options, etc. I think Origin just makes an Origin Games folder in whatever directory the Origin folder's put in, so whether it's Program Files or not.yeah.

#ORIGIN DOWNLOAD TO DIFFERENT HARD DRIVE INSTALL#
* If you install Origin to the default location just on a different drive, it'll be "D :\Program Files (x86)\Origin" thus the games would be installed to "D :\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games" - so you can just plop that folder into Program Files (x86) Moving already installed games is a little trickier, but theres some programs that do it. I don't see why it wouldn't - I had Dragon Age II installed from disc long before I activated it on Origin, and it found it in a totally different directory.Īt the very least, you should be able to start the install and it'll detect it already being where it wants to install it (Assuming you installed Origin to the default directory*) Yes you can, when you go to install (you have to have the external hdd plugged in of course) those games choose to make a new installation on that drive and then let it download to it. It should detect the install and you don't have to redownload. On the left, select the folder where all your Origin games are stored. Download Steam Mover from the Internet and run the software on your computer. Copy over your Origin Games folder to the directory you want it in*, then uninstall and reinstall Origin to that drive. Follow Steps 1- 5 in the Way 1 to create a new Origin game library folder on another drive first.
