Re: How to download sims mods on EA app

@Meggiemooch560  The Mods folder is in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 regardless of how you're launching the game.  You do need to launch it once to create this folder though.

    @_Manou1996_  The Sims 4 user folder, the one that contains the Mods folder, is always in Documents > Electronic Arts no matter where you've installed the game's program files.  If, however, you've used a symbolic link to move the user folder to the external drive, then that's where you need to look.  This would have been a separate process, so if you don't think you went through that, you probably didn't.

    Regardless, the easiest way to find your user folder is to use the in-game method described here:

    With the new "EA App" launcher, the file structure has completely changed. "The Sims 4" file is now in the "EA Games" file and no longer contains the "Mods" or "Saves" file. I am looking for where is the new location of the "Mods" file?

  • What if you just downloaded the EA app on a new device and no longer have the origins folders anymore?

    @DiamondLilyGamer The Mods folder is always in the same place (the Accepted Solution post said that), if it's not present please repair your game in the EA app. Obviously you need to redownload your Mods in the new device, if you don't have access anymore to your old one.

    Try looking into your C:\Programfiles (X86) folder for the previous origin folder

    Oui effectivement le structure des fichiers a changé mais la technique reste la même. Je te conseille de chercher le fichier avec la barre de recherche de ton explorateurs de fichier

    So, I have opened my Electronic arts folder and there is no Sims 4 Folder. There is only an EA app folder. What does that mean and what do I do, and how do I download mods with just an EA app folder? and before you say it, I have opened the EA app folder. There is no Simes 4 folder in there.
