I cant locate my mods folder after update
I recently updated Sims4, and the new EA app, and now i'm unable to find my mods folder. I used to be able to go into documents>electronic arts> sims4> mods folder but now when i go into electronic arts the only folder thats in there is an EA App folder with nothing in it? I have searched everywhere for a mods folder and there isn't anything with the new EA app, so now I cant access past mods i used to use and I cant add any more mods . Anyone else having this issue?? pls help !!!!!!20Views0likes2CommentsWhich Mac laptop is best for Sims 4?
I don't know if this has been asked lately, but I had extremely helpful advice from users on the old forum about this around seven years ago. Last time, Bluebellflora and others pointed me to a Mac Pro 15 inch 2017 16gb, which had two graphic cards - radeon pro and intel hd graphic - and a fan. The Sims 4 has run brilliantly on it and I've been really glad that I got it. Unfortunately after heavy use the hardware is beginning to show its age a bit, even though the Sims still works just fine. So, I am starting to look around at what Mac laptops are available to replace it. I have some specific questions, but any tips at all will be gratefully received. 1. Is M3 good enough or do you need to go M3 pro or M3 max? 2. My current laptop has a fan, but I understand the new ones are all solid state so this is no longer something to think about? 3. Probably this is a stupid question, but I am have a big saved game and I am most concerned not to lose it when I get a new laptop. I back up my current game on an external harddrive. If I get a new laptop that is compatible with this external hard-drive, will I be able to just plug it in and transfer my current save over with no issues? Are there any pitfalls to be aware of when doing this? 4. General call out - what Mac laptop do you have, and do you recommend it? The last thread I could find on this topic was on the old forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mac/Which-MacBook-is-best-for-Sims-4/td-p/7117235/page/2 Sorry if I'm duplicating a new one though. I'm still trying to get the hang of the new forums. I will delete and copy this post over if necessary.SolvedKLoxxon23 hours agoNew Novice52Views0likes3CommentsSims download not recognizing 'full disk access'
I am trying to download the sims 4 on my mac with an external hard drive. On the EA app, when I try to download the game, it immediately says "something went wrong" and that I need to give EA app full disk access in settings. The frustrating thing is that EA app DOES have full disk access in settings. I do not know what to do so that EA will recognize that it has full disk access.

Every time I go to download The Sims 4 to my hard drive from the EA app, I get a message saying "something went wrong" almost immediately.

So, my game was running great, until I received a notice the EA App on my MacBook was updating. After that, my game wouldn’t load. I removed all the mods, tray files, and saves, and still the game is malfunctioning. I deleted both the EA App and the game. Downloaded the EA App and the base game again, and still the game is malfunctioning. It freezes, takes a lot of time to load. Tried repairing it, and the problems persist. If I force quit the game then try to open it again from the EA App, it won’t work. I press the play button, and nothing happens. It seems there is a software conflict between the new EA App and my MacBook. My MacBook is fully up to date and I have the newest version of the EA App. Just to be clear, these problems persist without mods, saves, or tray files; they persist after I repair the game, after I delete the electronic entertainment folder and everything inside, and after I deleted and redownloaded both the EA App and The Sims 4 base game.

I hadn't played since July 6, so when I opened the app yesterday, I wasn't able to play until I installed the latest update. Once that was complete, I played the game for maybe an hour, then saved and exited. The next day, I opened the app and it said much of my custom content was missing. Upon closer inspection, I realized that my most recent save file/household had been wiped from the game, as well! All of this is in addition to having to deal with a little window stating that the EA App is "being verified" appearing on my Mac screen for no apparent reason. Whatever happened to just, like, clicking on an icon to open a game? I'd rather play using a physical copy in my external optical drive than deal with all this rigmarole.36Views0likes2CommentsIt keeps updating but never finish

Game Play Issues
Since the update, I’ve been having nonstop issues with the EA app and Sim 4 on my mac. The EA app takes forever to open, and then sometimes it completely crashes which prompts the helper to take over and launch it. I’ve noticed even the EA app icon disappears and turns into a grey square. The load time for sims takes ages, which I can understand to a point. I haven’t opened CAS since the update just because of it refusing to work. So i’ve been loading a previous save. It will work for a while, but then I am unable to have my sim interact with anything and everything . For example, I’ll try and have my sim cook, so but after I get to the prompt and select cook nothing happens. I can’t open my inventory, sim profiles, open CAS, change clothes, travel, etc. But the worst part is, this is on and off. So I start playing and then suddenly I can’t do anything. I can’t save or even close the game. I tried tricking it by going to manage worlds to save, and once I did that, the game went completely black in the frame, i could still hear the sim and see the sim gem above my sim, but i can’t actually see the sim or do anything. Since Sims refuses to let me even close the app, I then can’t close the EA app. I had to turn off my mac to even get it off my screen. Once I reboot my mac EA tries to launch yet again and it still does the same thing. I’m just lost and don’t know what to do to fix this issue, because when it loads and lets me in, it starts acting normal, but then everything just doesn’t work at all.49Views1like1Commentmy game is stuck on finalising and will not download
