Downloading Mods
Hi, I have been told how to download a mod, but I can't seem to get it right. Can someone tell me is there a tutorial (not video) that tells me step to step what to do, or can someone tell me how? Thanks in advance!!

On Mod the Sims, you can check if the mod creator is active and if there are comments indicating that the mod still works. Many mod creators have active Discord servers, Tumblrs, and/or Twitter accounts, so you can tell the modder is active and keeping up their mods.

I also retweet/reblog and post some update info (for widely popular content) on my Twitter and Tumblr. If you join Deaderpool's Discord server, you'll find notices of major mod issues there too, but they also redirect to the more comprehensive lists.

How do you made a backup of your saves?
I just uninstalled OneDrive because I found out that's where all my MODs where going and ended up losing everything! - @Tabbie88 Just copy and past your Saves folder to somewhere else other than The Sims 4 folder.
- Oohh wow!! LoL. Thank you @luthienrising , that so super easy! I feel a little slow now. Haha!
