[INFO] Using Mods/CC on a Mac
Overview
For Sims 4, the process of installing mods and custom content on a Mac is the same as it is on a Windows PC. Standard mods and cc work equally well (or not at all) in both OSs, and the S...

I am having a similar issue and am literally STRUGGLING! Okay so, I updated Sims4 today on my mac, when I went back on it was so weird, my sims take so long to do a task, I put one of them to have a shower and it just stood there and didn't, their hygeine is all so low because they won't shower or eat or even speak to one another. I thought maybe some of my mods are out of date, so I went to look for my mods folder, but it was not there. I tried deleting the sims4 folder but after research realised that was the wrong thing to do so got it out of the bin and put it back into EA folder. I saw that if you reload the game the mods folder should come back up but it hasn't. I have shut down. and restarted my mac but nothing works. I don't physically understand how when I load sims4 it tells me about 15 mods I have enabled, yet there is no mods folder anywhere on my mac?! Like where is it?! Please help me, I just wanna play :'(
So your Mods are loading ok but you don't think you have a Mods folder? Please provide the exact full file path of the Sims 4 folder where you are looking for the Mods folder.
I search Electronic Arts on my macbook, then click Sims 4 folder and then mods is gone, I tried repairing as people have said to, still didn't work, so today I uninstalled and re installed the game and still it isn't there. All i want to do is remove mods to try and fix my gameplay but i physically cannot find a mods folder to do so, i used to have it as I've added mods but how do i remove mods without a mods folder, I cannot work out where they are on my macbook but they show up when i start the game so they must be somewhere right?

If a Spotlight search yields a Sims 4 folder it means the folder is not where it should be in Documents > Electronic Arts. This is because for some unfathomable reason only known to EA/Apple the TS4 folder is hidden from search results if in the correct location (Documents > Electronic Arts). A Terminal search is much more productive:
Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following command then hit Enter/Return:
find ~ -type d -name "*The Sims 4*" 2>/dev/null
After a little while it will return the results of the search. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.
However, the fact that your game is happily loading your Mods means that the Sims 4 folder is in the correct location which, again, is Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.
- @Bluebellflora I'm not sure how to open terminal (applications>utilies), I don't know what this means I'm so sorry, i'm rubbish at computers
