@jr49j6dxk76j Hello! It seems odd that you saw a .application folder. Usually zipped files will have the .zip extension. It's possible the download did not properly complete. Maybe try downloading the mod again.
Although, you mentioned you moved the zipped folder into the mods folder. However, the folder must be unzipped and the contents [.package and/or .script files] placed into the mods folder. Most newer computers have a utility to unzip these and you should be able to right click on the folder then click on the extract all option. You'll get a browsing window to select the location. Mine shows a default location with the new folder being added to the downloads folder. Click okay, then move the .package and/or .script files to Mods.
If you don't have an extract option, you may need to download a utility for it like 7-zip or WinZip.
I hope this helps but let us know if you're still having trouble.

hey, thank you for the reply.
i had usen winrar to extract the zipped folders. once opened in winrar and/or extracted the mods would only contain a .txt file and a .application file.
im not sure if the mods are a bit sus or if my computer is doing something weird.
@jr49j6dxk76j That is strange. Did you try downloading them again? While there could be an issue with your computer, I think it's more likely a problem with the mod files or download itself. Do you mind telling me the name of the mod? Please don't post a link, just the name. Also, if it is rated 18+, you can send it to me in direct message here. I'd like to test it in my game.
@JonaO703 Pretty much any furniture set from the sims catalog. dining rooms, kitchens etc...
Dual Channel for The Sims 4, dining room set.
tulton bathroom, bathroom set.
SUHD 4k curved smart tv.
goldis bathroom.
the list just keeps going. i have about 40 i downloaded and then didnt discover this issue until i went to install all of them. so now im here with about 40 mods that i cant do anything with.
@xSIRR_ @jr49j6dxk76j Thanks for that. I went to the Sims Catalogue and found the same issue. I admit I know nothing about that site but I am hesitant. I don't know why it's giving .exe files. I strongly recommend not opening any .exe files unless you absolutely trust the source. Actually, Windows Defender removed the 4K TV file which contained a trojan virus. I'm sorry you downloaded so many but I do suggest looking for these CC on a different site.
For example, since the Dual Channel dining room notes stated it was located on The Sims Resource, I tried getting it from there. It downloaded and unzipped with the normal .package files. So, perhaps you could try that site instead.
