Custom Content Sims 4 Mac

I'm on a Mac computer and I'm trying to download custom content. When I go into my electronic arts folder and then the Sims 4 folder there is no spot for mods. I tried making a mods folder in it and the content I downloaded doesn't appear in my game. I'm not sure what to do.

    @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  And what about your saves?  The point is, you know the game loads a save you create, so it's important to compare the file path for your saves to the file path for your Mods folder.

    Oops, sorry, I didn't see your post before I posted as well.  Try downloading one new custom content item, place it in the Mods folder you're looking at, but don't add anything else.

    @puzzlezaddict You just said copy & paste the first part, and then you said you wanted to see the file near the "load game" option.

    @puzzlezaddict Ooh, I forgot to mention that a couple of days ago I was downloading cc & I accidentally deleted my "resource.cfg" file but I got it back from this website.. I'll have to find it. Do you think that could also be the cause to why my cc isn't showing up in game? Maybe the file isn't good? :/

    @r0ttengrl  Yes, that could absolutely be it.  Let the game generate a new resource.cfg on its own: move the Mods folder to the desktop, load the game to the Main Menu, and quit.  If that doesn't create a new Mods folder (with a resource.cfg inside), load the game, disable mods, quit, then reload and reenable them.

    @r0ttengrl  Delete the one you downloaded, and let the game make a fresh one.  There's no point in having more than one.
