    @Sophieeeegrace  Please remove the Mods folder that you created.  Then load the game and enable both script mods and custom content in the game options.  This should create the correct Mods folder.  If it doesn't, move your entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, then launch the game to create a new Sims 4 folder.  Enable mods and cc, then quit, and you can move your existing content to the new folder.

@r0ttengrl  Does your computer run Windows or macOS?  Do your saves show up, or are they missing too?  Please also let me know whether you've installed the game on or moved your user data to an external hard drive or USB stick.

    @r0ttengrl  I mean save games, as in, the progressed world(s) you play in.  And I meant where did you install the game, as in, is it on your computer's internal hard drive, or an external device of some kind?

      @puzzlezaddict I'm on a laptop (mac) so I didn't install it to a hard drive only through "origin"

        @r0ttengrl  Have you played the game before on this computer, and saved your progress, and if you have, can you load that save (click Load Game) on the Main Menu?

        Please also find the Mods folder where you've added your custom content, right-click (or hold down the crtl key and click) on the folder, and select Get Info.  At the top of the pop-up is a section titled Where.  Please post that info here.  You can write [username] instead of your actual username if you want, but leave the rest of the information intact.
