The way I suggested is easier and can be done from within the preferences by simply posting the new folder path, without needing to edit command prompt.

You could make use of symbolic links on Windows. Two steps:

 

1. Move the entire ‘Sports Interactive’ folder located in ‘C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Sports Interactive’ into the folder of your preference on your external drive e.g. 'D:\Documents\Sports Interactive'

2. Run command prompt as administrator and type:
mklink /d "[old location]" "[new location]"

 

So in this case (watch the syntax):

mklink /d "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Sports Interactive" "D:\Documents\Sports Interactive"

 

You could do this also with for example your Steam workshop or Steam game library in general (moving them out of your Program Files directory), or just only with your graphics folder. But bear in mind that if you move those files from an SSD to a HDD, they will load slower, which is a bit annoying when dealing with 200MB savegames.
