Files aren’t showing up in the game

Hi guys

I’m desperately in need of help please. Recently i downloaded a mod ( I know, stupid ) and i tried to delete it safely by making a copy of my Sims 3 Map/files in downloads and then deleting the original file + deleting the mods out of the new file. Didn’t work. All my downloads are gone. When I enter the game it has fully reseted. I put my original files back from the trashcan but it still doesn’t work. Please, what do I have to do? Im so sad

  • leyyyyyz​  If you delete the Electronic Arts (not 2) folder and rename the other to Electronic Arts, without the 2, does it happen again?  If so, iCloud Drive is likely the issue.  Let me know whether you need it for some purpose or would be okay with not using it, or at least not having it sync your data.

    I tried it, it automatically makes a new folder when I open sims :( I'm playing on a MacBook by the way.

  • leyyyyyz​  Remove the new Electronic Arts folder that the game created, and put the restored Electronic Arts folder in exactly that location.

    Hi what do you mean with list? It’s basically the full Electronic Arts Sims 3 map that I deleted which had EVERYTHING on it. I then restored the map from the garbage thinking it would show up in my game again but it didnt. It also automatically made a new Electronic Arts map in my documents. My Icloud Drive is turned on, idk if it has anything to do with that

  • leyyyyyz​  Please list the files you restored from the trash and the full path to where you placed them.  Right-click a file and select Properties > General, then provide the Location.
