[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...

You copy and paste the command in my previous post into Terminal. When it has returned the results you copy and paste them into a post here. - @Bluebellflora Last login: Wed Jan 17 12:56:58 on console

As already explained to you, the Electronic Arts/ Sims 4 folders are hidden from a search. ( @CGrant56 for info). Don't do a search, actually manually open the Documents folder, then the Electronic Arts folder, then the Sims 4 folder.
Your Terminal results show that your Sims 4 folder is in the correct location on your Mac, in the Electronic Arts folder which is in your Documents folder. Your game is correctly installed and the game is loading data from the correct location. I think it may help you to read up on how to use a Mac. Apple has a lot of helpful threads on their website, this would be a good starting point https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlp1143/mac- @Bluebellflora I understand what you're saying, but I cannot physically see the sims4 folder in my EA folder, it isn't there, I need to find it in order to remove my mods and find out which one is causing my game to glitch. I get what you're saying, but I still can't actually click into a sims4 folder because I cannot see one.
How am I supposed to remove mods from my app without being able to locate the sims4 folder or the mods folder? That's my issue, it appears empty
- @Bluebellflora I searched for it on spotlight as I always have done, the way I used to add mods to the mods folder which is now gone, I've added mods multiple times in the past and I've always been able to find it this way so I dont understand how to do it now that it's gone. I just want to know how to remove mods from my game that's all, as I can't play it right now due to the dodgy mods messing up the game
- @molliegarnett1
Right, and I've already explained why you should not be searching in Spotlight/Finder.
However you did it before was pure luck and probable misunderstanding. Again, the Electronic Arts/Sims 4 folder is hidden from a search on your Mac. It always has been ever since 2015 when the game was released on Mac. I get, by your own admission, you have very limited understanding of how these things work but if you want to help yourself, follow the instructions we give you, please. - @Bluebellflora Please can you explain how I remove mods from my game? Just because it makes sense to you doesn't mean I understand what you are saying, I'm trying my best to do what you are saying
- @molliegarnett1
Open a Finder window
Open the Documents folder
Open the Electronic Arts folder
Open the Sims 4 folder
Open the Mods folder
If the Documents folder is not showing in Finder go to Finder > Settings > Sidebar and click on the checkbox next to the Documents folder so it shows up (this is basic Mac understanding and is covered in the link I previously gave you to Apple's help page) - @Bluebellflora I've found it, thank you very much for taking your time to help me, I really appreciate it
