Re: Moving Sims4 mods to a new computer

You copy the mods folder and put it in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods.... like where you put them usually.

Also copy and paste the Saves and Tray folders if you want everything @nikkitimesthree

    Hi there @nikkitimesthree  missed your prior question yesterday, and got busy..

    So how did you go copying the folders over? Or are you not sure of how.. various methods (and of course you can, they're just files afterall..)

     

    1: Create a zipped folder each for mods, tray, saves / saved games, screenshots, recorded videos (if you want them too.) 

    2: Transfer them via 1: attach them as a file and email yourself, 2: use a portable hard drive or usb. 

    3: Extract them into the correct place ie: exactly as they 'looked' in the old computer.

    There is also various apps to use to 'transfer files' I use Evernote a lot for that too (good for pix etc) also works from mobile to computer you can also invite other people to view documents etc and it also has a chat connected. 

    So use whatever method works best for you,

    Sasha

    nb: If your problem is now fixed, appreciate it if you marked one of my answers as the solution; for others also to follow when they have a similar problem

    when you copy the 'saves', which folder do you paste it in?

    By the way, I'm having a hard time.  I keep trying to get the mods from the old computer to the new and its not working.
