How to add mods to the Sims 3? Macbook 64 bit
I bought TS3 and installed it through the EA app. The game runs perfectly for me; however, I cannot add mods or CC to it. I looked for it so many times and saw other people say to add the mods folder...

@puzzlezaddict This is the result:
find / -name "Version.tag" 2>/dev/null
/private/var/folders/g1/hyky00qn6qq2k4ksq9dkwqgw0000gn/T/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Version.tag

@laylan2302 Right, so the folder isn't anywhere accessible to the game. (As noted, the location shown is a private area not meant to be accessed, and Sims 3 certainly can't find it.) If you've started the game once, and the Sims 3 folder doesn't exist here:
Macintosh HD > Users > your username > Documents > Electronic Arts
then this may be an iCloud Drive issue. Please read the first post of the master thread I linked earlier for how to disable iCloud Drive for Deskto & Documents.
If that doesn't help, please create a new admin account on your Mac. Don't tie it to your Apple ID—you can skip that step—just sign in and launch Sims 3, then look for the user folder in the location above, of course with the new account's username.
