I have only recently redownloaded Sims, and the folder has changed. I have attached a screenshot of what the folder looks like once I go into it. How do I get my cc into my sims?

    You're not looking in the right place. The Sims 4 user data folder is in Documents > Electronic Arts.

    That's where I am looking, for some reason, when I downloaded the game all of the folders changed.

    But you’re not. Your screenshot shows two locations - the Sims 4 Packs folder and the EA Games folder, both of which, by default, are in the Applications folder. Manually navigate to the Documents folder, don’t do a search.

    @Bluebellflora I am, that's my issue. Once I re-downloaded the game, it showed up like that: the images I took are what I found in the documents folder.

    Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following command, enter your password when prompted (it won't show you typing so make sure you enter the correct password)  then hit Return/Enter:

    sudo ls ~/Documents

    This command lists the contents of the Documents folder. Copy and paste the results here please.

    What is the installation location in EA App > Settings > Downloads?

  • I'm having this same issue. I go to the documents and everything is there but the game itself was downloaded to a different place and its not connecting to the tray for mods

    Game installation location and user data folder are separate. What is the exact file path of your Sims 4 folder that contains your saves, Mods etc? The full, exact file path starting with Macintosh HD or whatever your hard drive is called if you have changed it. You can replace your Mac user account name with XXX.
