    Thanks!

    You have a Mods folder in OneDrive in your school account. The game will not load any data from this location.

    The only location the game will load data from is the Sims 4 folder here. Your CC and Mods need to be in this Mods folder:

    /Users/oliviarobinson/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods

Please help!!

I haven't played Sims4 in a while and normally go through Origin but was redirected to the EA app. After finally getting the EA app to work properly I downloaded a heap of custom content through Mod Manager but now when I go into the game none of it shows up, it doesn't even show the content in startup how it usually does when I used to play ages ago. I have tried many things but nothing is working. Some fixes I have attempted is: 
1. Turning on mods and cc in the options
2. Reinstalling Sims4 
3. Moving Resource.cfg to desktop (When I open up a new game it does not reappear) 
4. Moving the whole Electronic Arts folder out of documents (A new file is not created) 
5. Restarting my computer multiple times. 
6. Putting only one cc in the file to see if it works (it does not) 
If it matters I have downloaded Cursefordge content and am currently using a Macbook.

Please please help, this is my last resort.

    Please open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following command then hit Enter/Return:

    find ~ -type d -name "*Mods*" 2>/dev/null

    After a little while it will return the results of the search. You'll know when it's finished searching because the command prompt will reappear. Please copy and paste the results in a post here..

      Hi there, I changed the name of my school to (schoolname) to keep that private but everything else is as it is.
