All of my previously downloaded cc is corrupted after I moved sims

i moved my sims file and now my previously downloaded cc is all corrupted, help

I moved my sims file onto another drive with steam. I needed to get my mods onto the drive too so i followed a tutorial how to on some other Reddit post, it said to move the mod folder into the drive and redirect it into the electronics art folder.

I guess by doing that it corrupted all of the cc in the folder because it’s been saying cc that has been working before i moved the game were corrupted. 

I’m desperate for a fix and I’ve been deleting one by one for an hour now, no luck.

The move could not be the culprit though, because before i moved it with steam i simply just moved the electronic arts folder and turned on the game hoping that’ll just be it. I was doing stupid stuff, i was 2 lazy to search up and follow instructions

is there a way for me to like save my cc folder because i spent hours downloading stuff n im gonna crash out if i have to restart for the 3rd time.

  • @katzrcute Remove the Mods folder you added and delete the localthumbcache file. Start the game to let it make its own Mods folder. You can use this method to see where to find it now: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/  You can now try copying individual files into the new Mods folder, ideally from your earlier storage, not the folder that said the files were corrupt.

    If you do have to restart, I really recommend downloading only what you're going to use immediately.
