How to transfer mods and cc folders from Mac to PC ?

I've got new gaming pc today and it's almost set to play sims 4.
Yesterday I saved sims 4 from Mac to usb. Today I downloaded sims 4 on pc, transferred saves from usb to new sims 4 folder on pc, game works fine, I can play my old saves.
The problem begins when I try to place mods and cc folders from usb to the new sims 4 folder on pc. I was dragging 1 mod at the time but it gives me error message (corrupted files) and won't start the game. I've tried each mod and cc folder, same error message every time.
I know I can download all mods again, but what about cc collection ?

  • Hey! I'' having the same issue but I can't find the ._ FILES!
    When I transfer the cc files from the usb to the Sims 4 Mods it shows all the CC that I'm transfering and it shows thrt it is transfering the ._ files but when I check the Sims 4 Mods File I can't find THEM! It's like they are hidden!
    I really need help!!
  • Nevermind! My boyfriend solved the problem!
    I couldnt see the files because in my windows the option "See Hidden Items" wasnt on!

    I'm glad you found it. I know how you felt when couldn't :D
    I just want to clear for other people who are going to have the same problem. When I found duplicate file I was looking at the files in USB, USB was in the computer. I was able to see regular files and duplicates with ._ symbols. So I transferred only correct files to the sims 4 folder and it worked immediately.

  • I'm having the same issue now but no fix. The same symbol start but when i go and look at the file to either delete it or change it the "symbols" aren't there anymore.
  • They are there. For some reason all cc is duplicated, one set with extra symbols, one without. You just have to find were it starting and delete it.
  • Im having the same problem and its so frustrating is there any YouTube vids on this? I'm more of a visual learner when it comes to cpus :( help pls :'(
  • Nvm! I found the files that had the ._ and I deleted them now my games works thanks yall
