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. I have tried clearing the cache (manually as well), restarting the app, restarting my computer, etc. Please help!!!!ThePrevail2 days agoSeasoned Newcomer72Views1like4CommentsWhy can't I download Sims 4 to my hard drive?
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. I have enough space on my hard drive so that isn't the issue. I have a 'My Passport' hard drive, could that be the issue? Do I need a different hard drive?

MAC User I bought Get to Work, Toddler Stuff, and Outdoor Retreat. Everytime I try to download them I get this error (pictured below). I bought other stuff packs after trying to download them and they have worked. It is just these three. I have cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled EA and the game, restarted the app, restarted my laptop, probably more stuff I don’t even remember. i tried contacting EA Support twice, they are useless. Neither case got resolved and I’m currently trying to contact them again. I paid for those extra content packs and can’t even play with them. Also it’s not a space issue on my MAC, I’ve already checked.ChristinaG80033 days agoRising Newcomer34Views0likes3CommentsGallery Won't Connect
I recently downloaded the Sims 4 on my Mac and it was running just fine until one day I tried to access the community gallery to download a house to my lot and it said that a connection was required. When I selected the 'connect' option it would just load forever and not do anything. I have tried clearing my computers cache, restarting and updating my computer itself, resetting my wifi router, resetting the Sims 4, and even deleting the whole EA app as well as Sims 4 off of my computer, only to redownload it and have the same problem. I am at my wits end! I have looked at so many forums and tried everything everyone has suggested and NOTHING is working, so I decided to make a post myself. If you have any tips, let me know please!!annab4rrows4 days agoSeasoned Newcomer25Views0likes2CommentsSims 4 Mac Cheat Console Won't Open
I've looked at the forum and other discussion boards to no avail. I've done everything that was recommended, including closing/restarting game & Macbook Air. I've deleted and redownloaded the EA app. I'm using Shift*Control*C - it's not opening the cheat bar.

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. What is the problem?27Views0likes2CommentsLot not uploading to the gallery
Hi folks, any other Mac users having a problem uploading their lots to the public gallery? Once I try to upload a lot, the game goes into a crash loop. I need to force-quit and re-start. MacBook Pro M3 Pro, using Sonoma 14.6.1. No mods, using the most recent game version.Solved68Views0likes2CommentsSims 4 game won't launch
I play on a mac and at the moment when I try to open the sims 4, either through clicking the app icon on my dock or clicking 'play' through the ea app, it won't open. I click it and the sims 4 ea app icon bounces as if it's going to open but then it doesn't and the ea app pops back onto screen. I've tried doing 'app recovery' for the ea app, i've tried repairing the game and I've removed all mods and CC and nothing has worked.meowtronn9 days agoRising Newcomer43Views0likes2CommentsWon't let me play my household

Not loading
If I click “resume game” nothing happens. It’s been on the loading screen for over 10 minutes. I force quit the game, repaired it through the EA app (I am on mac) and tried to load a different household and none of that worked.

Seriously I am at my WITS END. I have paid so much money for these games. Everything was fine, and then I got the 'game is not released' pop up. The game wouldn't repair so I just uninstalled it. Now it won't download. I have done everything - I have cleared my cache, I have downloaded the app again after deleting it - I have all but sacrificed a small animal. I am on a MAC and I just want to play my **bleep** game! It is stuck on pending and won't cancel. Then I try to download it and it starts again. So I make sure I delete the partial downloads. I have tried, I have failed. Please HELPelisemc9012 days agoSeasoned Newcomer23Views0likes2CommentsWhy does the new EA app hate me so?!
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
The newest update to the sims 4 keep updating but never finish, i have tried to delete mods, apps and other things on my mac, i have tried to restart but it keeps updating with no finish line.
