Hello!

If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated,

I followed the tutorial exactly, and everything was working smoothly. The issue I have ran across is my cc and saves not loading! I've cleared my iCloud Drive from any additional CC/Saves that might have been in there, and my symlink for my Electronics Arts has been created and is working properly. The weirdest thing happens when I try to add some CC back in, some pieces of the CC folders shows up and in others it's not. Yet when I add the full Mods folder, only select items show up. 

If anyone could possibly help or steer me into the right direction, I'd be forever grateful 🙂

    What is the exact file name of one of the pieces of CC not showing up?

      Thank you for responding back!

      See I'm not sure which package files are not showing up! I have maybe 100 GBS or so of CC, so it's very alarming when maybe 30 pieces are showing up in my game.

        You need to figure out a piece that’s missing, fine the file name and then post it please. I’m asking because I need to know the exact file location.
