Sims 3 Mods Folder not working

Hello,

I need help. As you can see on the Picture my Game is not in Electronic Arts but in EA Games. I tried to bring it to Electronic Arts but it didn't work. I dont think the Mods Folder has a Problem. Because I installed it from the Website everyone recomends. So what could I do to fix it?

    @Juriayanne  You've posted a screenshot of the game's program files, as in, what the EA App installs.  This is separate from the Sims 3 user folder, which is always in Documents > Electronic Arts.  But this folder isn't created until you launch the game for the first time.  It can also land inside OneDrive's version of Documents, so check there too.

    Regardless of where you find the other folder, the one in your screenshot shouldn't be touched.  Leave it alone and put the Mods folder inside the user folder instead.
