How to install mods for 1.70 64 bit Mac?

So the issue is that I want to add some stabilising mod for my Sims 3 on my Mac. I have read many tutorials on how to do that online in various places (YouTube videos, Steam community, EA community, etc.), but I have encountered conflicting instructions from one tutorial to another, and for most of the time, my Sims 3 file folder appears to be very different from those tutorial creators... How do I install mods for 1.70 64 bits Mac?

I have attached the content of some folders where most of the tutorials say to put the "Mods" folder at on my laptop.

  • @royaleagle_sun  Your screenshots show the game itself, as in, what the EA App installs.  Mods go into the Sims 3 user folder, in Documents > Electronic Arts.  This is the same as in Windows.

    I don't know what tutorials you're reading, but it's possible they cover other types of game tweaks: not standard mods exactly but rather modifications to the game data.  That would be a different matter.
