Multiple Saves, CC, MODS, and More

Hello, I’ve tried locating something in the web but I’m not getting exact answers. I want to know how the save files work within the game. I’d like to try custom content and mods but I don’t want to...

Yes move it somewhere else and then launch the game from origin and the game will build a new The sims 4 folder. Then click the three dots at the top and select game options. Choose the other tab and check enable custom content and mods. Apply the changes and quit the game. Add cc/mods to Mods folder and launch. Now you have a Mods game to use and your old NoCC game is safe to use when you want.

I've moved your post to the general Sims 4 forum as it is a general gameplay question and not Mac specific. You are most likely to get better help here 🙂

  @SheriGR Let me try again as this is confusing. When you launch Sims 4, PRIOR to the main menu where you choose saves and hit the big green arrow, mods are loaded. In fact you get a splash screen listing the mods and have to ok it in order to hit the big green play button. So you cannot play two saved games where one has mods and one does not.
  The cleanest way to do this is to keep two copies of the This Sims 4 folder somewhere else. I do it like this:
  Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims Saves/Vanilla/The Sims 4
  and
  Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims Saves/Modded/The Sims 4
  Then I move the one I want to play to the Electronc Arts folder to play it. That way all my mods and stored with my saved games and my modded households in one folder and the other is cc free.

    Yup. Sorry, just wanted to confirm, since I think that is specifically what @candiecoatediv wanted to confirm. Thank you! 🙂
