    Ah I see. I think I know what the problem is. Have you renamed the file? I think you've removed the file type extension. The file must be a .package file and this would show in the search results you got in Terminal. Rename the hair:

I just attempted to compress them into their own zip folder and that sadly didn't work.

They shouldn't be zipped. Only specific mods should be zipped. All CC files should end in .package.

That hair is showing fine for me. Can you try this:

Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy/paste this command:

find / -type f -name "*FrankieHairstyle*" 2>/dev/null

then hit Enter/Return. It may take a while to return results. It's looking all over your Mac for that piece of CC you linked. Once it's returned results please copy and paste them here.

    This is what showed up:

    /System/Volumes/Data/Users/lovesickpalaces/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/SFW Mods/Leah Lillith/Frankie

    /Users/lovesickpalaces/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/SFW Mods/Leah Lillith/Frankie

     

    *I had to change "FrankieHairstyle" to "Frankie" because that's the name of my file in my laptop.
