I've had issues in the past with my custom content not appearing in the game, and I vaguely remember being told to delete the mods folder on the promise that when I reopen the game another mods folder will appear automatically. I don't think this happened. I now do not have a mods folder, is there any way to get a new mods folder or if creating one manually would work? Not an urgent question, seeing as I'm getting a mac next week, and I'm hoping that when I install the game on the mac all of the folders will automatically install as well. But if you have a solution off the top of your head, let me know!

@ThisIsMePlayingI'm sure the game has created a new mods folder in your game. Maybe you're looking in the wrong place. . The game is installed in two folders, One folder is in Program files and this should not be touched. Second folder is in Dokuments / Electronic Arts / The Sims4 and there must be a new mods folder in the game folder.I don't work for EA

Go to menu Start . Select on the right Dokuments and click it.
Yo will see Electonic Arts folder. Open it.
Inside is the The Sims4 game folder 🙂

@LottieGrayYT There are two sets of files for the game: the program files are where you installed them, common path is the one you mentioned: C:\Program Files (86)\Origin Games.
The user files are located in Documents>Electronic Arts in a folder called The Sims 4. Inside that folder is a folder called Mods, this is where you install your mods and CC.

Detailed tutorial:

I would suggest you delete the mods folder you put in with the program files, and do a Repair in Origin for good measure:
Origin>My Game Library right click The Sims 4 icon, choose Repair in the drop-down menu.
Then install your mods in the right folder.

@LottieGrayYT That's not the Sims 4 folder where you need to add mods. As the original instructions say, the correct folder is in Documents\Electronic Arts. Be sure to start your game at least once, so that this Sims 4 folder will be created.

And please remove the Mods folder you created from the Sims 4 folder in Program files (x86). That data doesn't belong there and can only cause problems.
