Of course you must change EXTERNAL DRIVE and FOLDER NAME to the actual drive and folder name on your Mac. Now in order to change the default Origin game library location all we have to do is change the value in this line to the folder path that we want to use.įor example if you want to change the install location to a folder on an external drive the line should look something like this: (your macOS user name will appear instead of USERNAME) The file includes several lines with Settings and Values. The file local.xml should now open in the TextEdit app. and then scroll down to find TextEdit and double click it) > TextEdit (if TextEdit does not appear in the menu click Other. One of the files is titled local.xml right-click on it then click Open With. Once inside the folder you will see a list of files and sub-folders. In the dialogue box that pops up copy and paste the following path: ~/Library/Application Support/Origin/ and click Go or press Enter on you keyboard. (You can also use the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+CMD+G) Open a new Finder window and in the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder. Make sure the Origin application is closed. Tried many solutions and finally found a workaround.
Have been having the same problem with Origin on macOS Catalina.
