CC not showing up in game - MacBook

Hello! I recently started playing sims on my MacBook Pro and downloaded a bunch of cc which worked in my game for a while. I then decided that I wanted to delete some cc, so I simply just moved them...

    Hi! After a looong time, I finally found the problem. When extracting and then inserting the same cc in and out of the mods folder, my finder automatically renames the cc with a bunch of numbers after the actual name (see picture). Because of this, the game somehow doesn't recognize the cc. I don't know why my finder does this, and I find it really annoying since I now have to rename everything and delete the numbers.

Please open Terminal and copy and paste the following search 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. Please copy and paste the results in a post here.

    How interesting. I wonder if it's because you moved the files around a lot and possibly created copies in the process? Although the numbers are all the same. I have had this happen to me sometimes but never thought too much of it. I think it was files I trashed then resurrected.

    Great you figured it out!
