Deleted EA folder on mac! Can't find it or install mods. Please help?

I deleted my EA folder from my 2015 MacBook Air a long time ago mistakenly. Now, whenever I try to open the Sims 4, it works fine but I can't use mods. Now there is no EA folder in my Documents. Please Help!

    When you launch the game a new Sims 4 folder should be created in Documents > Electronic Arts. The Electronic Arts folder will also be created if there isn't already one there. If you launch your game, play for a bit, save and then quit, can you successfully load your save game when you next launch your game?

    It won't work for me either. I followed your websites that are recommended. i have the box thing unchecked. i had it unchecked before. if you open up the documents there is nothing. what should i do?

    @Bluebellflora when i play a game or make a sim it allows me to save and resume after re-opening the sims but i cannot for the life of me find the electronic arts folder which is weird since i uninstalled and reinstalled the sims :/
  • I am having this problem too. Recently I accidentally deleted my electronic arts folder and for the past few days I have been trying to find a solution to get it back. I have tried to repair, update and tried everything in this thread. Please help!!!! ☹️ I need mods

    If you deleted it from your Mac there is no way to get it back unless you have any backups? The folder will recreate the next time you launch the game but it will be like new with none of your content.
