Here I changed mine to d:Origin so it would be on my larger storage drive, not my small boot SSD: I cleared out all my old Origin games and started downloading Dead Space 3, which I got through some Humble Bundle recently, and I see that the files are indeed going to the d:Origin folder I manually specified in the Origin settings.

Changing the Installation Path

My Mac details: In my (humble) opinion, getting started with Origin is a great experience. When you begin to download their free trial, they have self-qualifying questions before you even download. They ask users to self-identify if they’re familiar with Origin, have an older version, or have never used Origin. I chose “never used.”.

• Origin is an online gaming, digital distribution and digital rights management (DRM) platform developed by Electronic Arts that allows users to purchase games on the internet for PC and mobile platforms, and download them with the Origin client (formerly EA Download Manager, EA Downloader and EA Link). Origin for Mac has been available since.
• If you need a rollback of Origin, check out the app's version history on Uptodown. It includes all the file versions available to download off Uptodown for that app. Download rollbacks of Origin for Mac. Any version of Origin distributed on Uptodown is completely virus-free and free to download at no cost. 10.5.102 Jul 21st, 2021.

For EA games you can set the default installation path of a game through Origin

Click on Origin – Application Settings and choose the tab Installation and Saves.

In Game Library location you can set the default path for all EA games.

Changing the path will not automatically move already installed games to a different location but all newly installed games will get their own folder within that path.

The path given there will tell you where you’re game is probably installed, especially if you never changed it.

C:Program Files(x86)Origin Games is the default path.

There’s no option to set the path individually for each game. If you want to install the game at a different place then the rest, change the location of the library before installing the game and change it back after the installation is done or simply move the game after installing.

Moving a game to a different installation path

Sometimes it desirable to have your game on a different location from where it was initially installed. For example if you bought a new hard drive and want the games on there, or the space on your c drive is getting sparse and you need to free up some space, or you simply did some reorganization on your drive and want it somewhere else.

I do not recommend installing the game on an external drive or USB stick.

Up till now, you had to uninstall the game and reinstall it again on the new location, which also meant to redownload the entire game.

Origin now has an option to help with that. You can just move it with a single click and Origin will do all the needed registry updates for you.
