how to download NEW cc to hard drive
so i did the symbolic link and it kinda worked, it didn't transfer all my mods (idk if it bc i deleted some or bc they were lost) but i want to try to redownload them to my hard drive but i don't kno...
Forum Discussion
@bbjerka Are the files zipped? If the files are .zip when you download them, you'll have to extract the files and put the .package and/or .script files in the Mods folder.
they weren't zipped, im pretty sure i did everything i was suppose to do (if the steps r basically still the same as when they were in my docs) i even tried to copy paste them into my mod folder but it still wouldn't work :/
@bbjerka Okay. Please share screen grabs of your folders that include the file path; one grab of your Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder on your computer's hard drive; one of your TS4 folder on your external hard drive; and one of your Mods folder on your external hard drive. They should look something like the below.
This is my TS4 user folder with file path.
This is my Mods folder with file path.
is this what u needed?
@bbjerka Yes. Thank you! It looks like you have created a link and added your mods to the Steam game files folder. The game will only recognize what is in your user folder; Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4. So, I suggest you start over and follow the exact steps in this symbolic link guide created by AHQ Hero crinrict.
